Flat Apple Pie

One word...yum! (and yes that is a bite missing before I could take the picture!) This is a recipe out of the Pioneer Woman's cookbook and it is so quick, easy, and delicious! It makes the perfect amount for my little family with no left overs, which is a good thing so we aren't eating apple pie everyday for 5 days. The recipe makes 2 of these, but I halved the recipe since my family is small.

Ingredients:
5 peeled and sliced Granny Smith apples
2 Tbsp. flour
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
2- 9" round pie crusts, or 1 recipe for homemade
1/2 stick of butter

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Stir together apples, flour, lemon juice, sugars, and salt. Set aside.
3. Roll out pie crusts into large circles and place on a baking sheets.
4. Place half apple mixture on one crust and the remaining on the other.
5. Fold over the edges of the crust so that it covers 2-3 inches of the apple mixture. (No need to be artistic here!)
6. Dot the tops of the pies with chunks of butter. Bake for 30-40 minutes until golden and bubble. Slice with pizza cutter and serve in wedges.
*Top with jarred caramel for extra sweetness, if desired.
