Ingredients

  1. 10 apples
  2. 2 9-inch pie shells
  3. 1 cup sugar
  4. 1/4 cup brown sugar
  5. 2 tablespoons flour
  6. 2 tablespoons butter
  7. Dash of cinnamon

Preparation

Core and peel the apples. Mix the sugar and flour in a bowl.

Begin with sprinkling the bottom of the pie shell with the tapioca. Place pie shell in dish and layer half of the apples on top, covered with half of the sugar/flour mixture.

Create another layer with the rest of the apples and repeat like before, sprinkling the rest of the sugar/flour mixture on top.

Sprinkle cinnamon over the pie and dot with butter. Then, place the 2nd pie shell on top and create holes for venting. Pinch crusts together and sprinkle the top pie shell with sugar.

On a foil-lined baking sheet, bake at 400° for the first 15 minutes, then at 350° for 45 minutes.

Let cool, then serve. It goes great with a slice of vanilla ice cream.
