Grammy's Apple Pie

A couple days ago we went to the apple orchard, and I bought a large bag of Melrose apples.  I never heard of Melrose apples before, but I asked the sales lady to recommend a good baking apple, and she gave me a slice of that apple to taste.  Heaven!  It was so yummy!  I was only going to get a small bag, but changed my mind and got a large bag.

The way they do it, they have all kinds of apples in bushel baskets, and you just walk up and ask for whatever you want, they give you a taste, and if you want it they bag it.  When I asked for a large bag, she packed so many apples in there I could barely carry it.  I'm guessing it weighed at least 15 pounds.

Although I had made a Dutch apple pie last week, I couldn't wait to try another apple pie.  My son used a bunch of them to make crockpot apple butter, but I haven't tried that yet.  And of course I can't eat this pie, because of the crust, but all my apple pie eaters declared this pie a winner!  It looks and smells delicious.

I used packaged Pillsbury pie crusts, because I was afraid to mess up the crust with these good apples!  I figure Pillsbury probably has it figured out pretty well by now!  And everyone liked it, so there you go!

I am definitely going to try one of these with a gluten free pie crust, but for now, here is the recipe I used to make this one:

I think you'll like this pie if you make one!  Serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you'll be in Apple Heaven!
