All American Apple Pie
All American Apple Pie
I have demonstrated Apple Pie making in my Creative Meal classes for 30 years.
After I bake them, I deliver them to teacher lounges and the front offices. I have become known at school as the best pie maker. I never make them at home as I do not
like apple pie.

6 apples
¾ c. sugar
2 T. cornstarch
1 t. cinnamon
1 T. butter
Instructions
Peel, core, and slice apples: toss with sugar mixture. Pour into pastry shell. Dot with butter. Cover with top crust. Seal and flute edges.
