This recipe is as easy as pie and is a delicious way to get out the vote!

Even if you’ve never baked before, you will find this recipe easy and feel like such a genius in the kitchen! For you more experienced bakers–use your own time honored recipes along with these design inspirations!

These are the ingredients/tools I suggest:

• 2 21-oz cans of apple pie filling
• 2 packages of pre-rolled pie crust (2 crusts in each box, I like to have extra to play with)
• Optional: 1 egg to make egg wash for crust
• 1 pie pan (can be an oven safe dish or disposable aluminum 9 inch pie pan)
• Aluminum foil
• Knife (for cutting decorations in pie crust)
• Optional: 1 silicone/basting/pastry brush for egg wash

You’ll also need 1 oven (not pictured) pre-heated to 425 degrees Farenheit (or whatever your pie crust box says).

 

Step 1:
Put 1st layer of pie crust on to pie pan.

 

Step 2:
Add apple filling (2 cans).

 

Step 3:
Now the fun part! Cut a design from the remaining layers of pre-rolled pie crust. Make sure there are holes/slits for heat to escape in the baking process.
Extra credit: beat an egg into a bowl and brush the egg wash onto the crust for a deeper color, you can also use your fingers if you don’t have a brush.

 

 

 

Step 4:
Bake for 40 minutes at 425 degrees Farenheit (or whatever directions are on your pie crust box). After the first 20 minutes, take your pie out and make a collar out of 3 inch wide strips of aluminum foil for the edges of your pie so they don’t burn. Return the pie to the oven for the remaining 20 minutes.

 

Ta-da! Give to your friends, neighbors, and colleagues, and remind them all to Vote!
