Crazy Crust Apple Pie
Crazy Crust Apple Pie
This recipe is an easy solution to those of us who for the life of them cannot make a decent pie crust. This pie has a crust but you don't have to roll it out. No dough sticking to the rolling pin, no dough ripping and cracking when your trying to make a somewhat round piece of crust. My mom has two variations on this card so that you can use fresh apples when in season or canned apple pie filling. I don't see why you couldn't use any type of fruit filling that is your favorite. Mine is cherry. Mind you I have never made a cherry pie from fresh cherries I just didn't think it was worth pitting all those cherries for one pie. I cheat when it comes to peeling apples I have one of those automatic peelers that you attach to your table or counter. This thing is great, I can peel an apple in about 20 seconds. It cores it and slices it in a spiral. You couldn't ask for and easier task. I know they have cherry pitters too, but come on, it still is a very small fruit that you would need to pit a lot of to make one pie. One of these days I'm going to try to make a fresh cherry pie, then I might see that it is worth all the trouble of pitting those little cherries.
