This apple pie recipe is chock-full of crisp and tangy apples with plenty of spice but it's made easy by using a refrigerated pie crust. Oven to table in 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place 1 pie crust in ungreased 9-inch glass pie plate and press firmly into sides and bottom.
Thinly slice apples into large, microwave-safe bowl. Add filling ingredients and stir together well. Microwave on HIGH for 5-6 minutes to start cooking the apples.
Spoon filling into bottom crust. Top with second crust. Wrap any excess top crust under the bottom crust and press to seal. Flute edges or use fork to crimp. Cut slits into the top crust to vent.
Bake 45-50 minutes until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. After first 15 minutes, cover edges of crust with foil to prevent excessive browning.
Notes
Use your favorite variety of apples or a combination of varieties. We like Golden Delicious.After cooking apples in the microwave, taste to see if you need more sugar or spice.
