Johnna's Famous Apple Pie!
My wife has made this apple pie recipe the past 10 years I've had the pleasure of knowing her.
(not just because she makes this apple pie)
First you peel six cups of red and green apples.
Below is the Pampered Chef's Apple Peeler.
Slice them into wedges, and toss in the cinnamon and sugar mix.
Prepare the pie crust and place it in the pie dish.
Prepare the crubles in a separate bowl.
Pour apples onto pie crust in pie dish.
Sprinkle crumb topping onto apples.
Bake as directed.
Remove from oven and sprinkle pecans over entire pie
(or like us, over half for those particular family members who view pecans as ruining a perfectly good apple pie!)
Then drizzle ice cream topping caramel over entire pie as you see fit.
Top with decorative crust apple, or other picture or letter if you wish.
Serve with your favorite topping whether that be whipped cream or ice cream!
Enjoy!
