Things You'll Need

• 4 TB flour
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Cinammon
• 1 Tablespoon Sugar
• 5 Granny Smith Apples
• Frozen Deep-Dish Pie Crust
• Beaters
• Oven
• prep time: 20 min
• cook time: 45 min

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400. Place an oven shelf on the bottom rack of the oven.

2. The apples. Slice the apples into eight slices each. Be sure to cut out the seeds from the middle part of each slice. Peel the apples. Place the apples evenly in the deep dish pie crust.

3. The ingredients. Pour 1 cup heavy cream into a large mixing bowl. Pour 4 TB flour on top of the heavy cream. Pour ½ teaspoon of cinnamon on top of the flour.

4. Mix the ingredients. First, mix the ingredients by stirring with a spoon. Then, take some beaters, and "whip" the mixture for about 2 minutes or until the mixture begins to harden.

5. Gently pour the mixture onto the apples in the pie crust. Distribute evenly over the apples.

6. In a separate container, mix 1 Tablespoon sugar with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Stir together until evenly mixed. Place a thin layer evenly on top of the pie.

7. Cook the pie. Place the pie on the bottom rack of the pre-heated oven. Cook for about 45 minutes. [Cooking time will vary according to oven.] Remove when edges are golden brown.

8. Cool the pie. Remove the pie with an oven mitt. Place on a cooling rack for about 20-30 minutes. Cool the pie until the mixture that you placed on top begins to harden. If you cut the pie too early, the pieces will not maintain a shape.

9. Serve with one scoop ice cream.

10. Add to the holiday spirit by serving the slices of apple pie on paper plates decorated with the holiday spirit.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want to make the pie sweeter, try sweeter apples before adding more sugar to the recipe.
