Easiest Apple Pie Ever

We love to celebrate Pi Day--March 14 (3.14).  Every year we try a different pie.  This year I was short on time, and just made this super easy apple pie.  I have made it before, and love it.  It is so easy because the crust and the crumble topping are the same thing!  I love it!  Pie crusts are not my favorite thing to make.  They are so touchy, but this pie crust is so easy!  If you have an apple peeler/corer/slicer, then this pie only takes minutes to prepare.  So easy! I realize this is not apple season, but this pie is good any time of the year.  Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.  Divine!

Easiest Apple Pie Ever

2 cups flour

1 cup sugar

1 egg yoke

1 tsp baking powder

1 cup butter, melted

7-8 apples, sliced, cored and peeled (whatever kind you like or have on hand)

1 1/2 Tbl cinnamon

2 Tbl sugar

Mix together the flour, sugar, egg yoke and baking powder.  Add in the melted butter.  Mix well then press half of the mixture into the bottom of a 9" pie plate--this makes your bottom crust.

Slice, core and peel your apples and place them in a large bowl.  Toss them with the cinnamon and sugar.  Place the apples on top of your crust.

Crumble remaining dough on top of the apples by breaking into pieces.

Bake 350 for 45 minutes to an hour depending on when your apples are done, you may need to put a strip of foil over the edge of the crust so it doesn't burn near the end.  You want your apples tender but not mushy, so you can test them with a fork.

 **I originally got this recipe from here, but altered it a little after making it a few times.  Mixing the apples with the cinnamon and sugar in a bowl makes it turn out better I think.   Enjoy!
