Ingredients

  • 6

    cups

    thinly sliced peeled apples

  • 3/4

    cup

    sugar

  • 2

    tbsp

    MINUTE Tapioca

  • 1/2

    tsp

    ground cinnamon

  • 1/4

    tsp

    ground nutmeg

  • 1

    pkg

    (15 oz.) ready-to-use refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)

  • 1

    tbsp

    butter, cut up


Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss apples with sugar, tapioca and spices. Let stand 15 min.

  2. Step 2

    Line 9-inch pie plate with 1 of the crusts as directed on package for two-crust pie; fill with fruit mixture. Dot with butter. Cover with remaining crust; seal and flute edge. Cut several slits in top crust to permit steam to escape.

  3. Step 3

    Bake 45 to 50 min. or until juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Cool.

Recipe Tips
  • Omit nutmeg. Prepare as directed, increasing the tapioca to 3 Tbsp. and adding 1 cup cranberries to the apple mixture before spooning into crust.

  • Use two fingers to press a V-shape into the unbaked crust edge. This looks like a wave or ruffle design when finished. Don't worry about it being perfect - an uneven edge adds to the trendy look of homemade!

  • Prepare as directed, adding 1/2 cup golden raisins to the apple mixture before spooning into crust.

  • Cut second pie crust into 10 (1/2-inch-wide) strips with pastry wheel or sharp knife. Place five of the strips over filling. Weave lattice crust with remaining strips by folding back alternate strips as each cross-strip is added. Fold trimmed edge of lower crust over ends of strips. Seal and flute edge.
