Apple pie in an apple!

 

Ingredients
1 pie crust
6 granny smith apples,
1/4 c cup sugar
1 Tbsp brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon (more or less make adjustment as desired)

Directions:

Heat oven to 375%

Cut off the top of 4 apples off and discard. Remove the inside of each apple with a spoon very carefully, as to not puncture the peel.

Remove skin from 2 additional apples and slice very thinly. These apple pieces will give you filling needed to fill the four apples you are baking.

Mix sliced apples with sugars and cinnamon in a bowl. If you prefer more or less cinnamon and sugar, make adjustments as desired.

Scoop sliced apples into hollow apples.

Roll out pie crust and slice into 1/4 inch strips.

(You can also add a strip of pastry inside the top of the apple almost like a liner to add a little more texture/sweetness to the pie. )

Cover the top of the apple in a lattice pattern with pie crust strips.

Place apples in an 8×8 pan. Add just enough water to the cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and sliced apples are soft.
