Plop those apples in a large pot.

Note: you may notice my apple slices look a little brown, I thought I would be clever and pre-peel, slice and freeze them. It was clever, but now they’re not as fresh as they could be!

Cut the excess pastry off, pinch the edges for a “pie crust effect” and cut three lines across the top of the pie to allow for steam.

Cook at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and looks crumbly.

cut some holes in the pastry topping for steam to escape

Once the pie is done, take it out and baste with butter.

Sprinkle cinnamon on top and let cool.
