Here’s a recipe I copied earlier this summer from the P. Allen Smith show on public TV.

Individual Apple Pies
Preheat oven to 375 degrees

6 firm, Granny Smith apples
Carefully remove insides with melon baller being careful to not puncture skin

Peel 2 additional apples and slice thinly

Mix
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash of salt

Toss with sliced apples and carefully fill apple shells.

Take pre-made pie crust and cut into lattice strips

Weave across tops of filled apples, sealing edges. Press fork around edge.

Brush with melted butter

Sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar

Place in baking pan with small amount of water in bottom; Cover with foil.

Bake 20-25 minutes.

Remove foil and continue baking until brown

Serve warm.

These were so cute on TV!
