“Very easy pie recipe! Pie crust can be tricky and intimidating but this one is very easy to work with. I did chill the dough for 15-20 minutes before rolling it out. I've never done the lattice top before so that was fun and turned out picture perfect. I use” — a cook, 5.0★
“Hi! My name is Ashlyn, I’m 8 and I love to bake.This pie is a hit to me and my family! l love the flakiness on the crust .Me and my mom do teamwork. She does the crust and I do the filling. We have a lot of fun together. I peel and cut the apples. Sincerely, ” — a cook, 5.0★
