Easy Homemade Pie

My husband loves apple pie. At first I was a little daunted reading the instructions on the pie crusts and the pie filling as each says to follow the instructions on the other... Turned out it wasn't so daunting after all.





2 frozen pie crusts
1 can pie filling
1-2 teaspoons cinnamon (optional)
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Following pie crust instructions let them defrost on the counter for 10-15 minutes.

Fill one with the can of pie filling. Top with cinnamon if adding.

Turn the second pie crust upside down and centering it, place it on top of the first one.  Use a fork to get the edging. Carefully cut some slits with a knife or puncture some holes with a toothpick for steam to escape. Top with sugar if adding.

Note: You can use an egg wash to baste the top. I didn't in this one. Egg wash is 1 egg with 1 tablespoon of water.

Place in pre-heated oven at 425 F for 10 minutes. Then bake at 375 F for an additional 30 minutes or so, until crust is desired color.

Remove and let cool... Enjoy!

You can make this totally homemade by making your own pie crust and using about 3-4 peeled and cored apples.
