Classic Two Crust Apple Pie Recipe #72106
Sometimes simple is better. To my taste buds this applies to apple pie. There is nothing in this pie to overpower or detract from the apples. The best pie apples are ones you probably wouldn't pick to eat out-of-hand. For most people, they're too tart and too hard. Use those for your pies. Prep time does not include making pie crust.
