Who has time to make homemade apple pie?  Not this girl.  I've been cheating with this method for a few years.  It's all the simple ingredients and flavors with a little help from the store and not a lot of time.  If you can slice an apple, you can make this :)

Ingredients:

2 apples (granny smith, golden delicious, macintosh-whatever you have!)

1 store bought pie crust

2 tbsp of sugar

1 tbsp of cinnamon

Zest and juice of 1 lemon

Directions: 

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees & thaw pie crust

2. Slice apples.  Here's how, just make sure to slice them MUCH thinner as shown above.

3. Roll out the thawed dough onto a greased baking sheet

4. Place chopped apples in the center. Add sugar, cinnamon, lemon zest and juice. Mix together.

5. Fold up the edges toward the center. Sprinkle some sugar on top. 

6. Bake for 20-25 minutes until everything is golden and your house smells like apple pie.
