Baked Apple Pie In An Apple

Baked Apple Pie In An Apple

Ingredients:

6 Granny Smith Apples
1 Pie Crust
1/4 cup Sugar
1 tbsp Brown Sugar

Directions:

 
Preheat oven to 350

You can use a muffin pan to 'balance' the apples

Cut off the top of 4 apples off and discard. 

Remove the inside of each apple with a spoon very carefully, as to not puncture the peel. Remove skin from 2 additional apples and slice very thinly.

These apple pieces will give you filling needed to fill the four apples you are baking.

Mix sliced apples with sugars and cinnamon in a bowl. If you prefer more or less cinnamon and sugar, make adjustments as desired. Scoop sliced apples into hollow apples. 

Roll out pie crust and slice into 1/4 inch strips. You can also add a strip of pastry inside the top of the apple almost like a liner to add a little more texture/sweetness to the pie.

Cover the top of the apple in a lattice pattern with pie crust strips. 

Place apples in an 8×8 pan. Add just enough water to the cover the bottom of the pan. 
Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. 
Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and sliced apples are soft.

Top with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream of a AWESOME dessert!  

Enjoy...
