Apple Pie

I was thinking of what to do with the apples we got from Noel. He gave us a bunch of small apples from his parent's tree. First, I was thinking of juicing it but the apples are a bit small. So, I decided to make an apple pie.
I am not the best at baking and as mentioned before, I usually do baking in a semi homemade way:
So I made one just to try it out:

9" ready made crust (which i got from Safeway--thanks to ready made stuff!)
1 Betty Crocker crust mix (for the crust on top)
5-6 small apples
3/4 c white granulated sugar
1/2 c brown sugar
1/c flour
2 tsp of ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp butter


Peel and chop the apples into small cubes. Combine chopped apples with all the dry ingredients. Set it aside.
On a separate bowl, use 1/2 of Betty Crocker crust mix. Put 2 Tbsp of cold water and another 2 tsp of cold water. Mix it all up until it turns into a ball. Put some flour on your board before flattening your dough with a rolling pin. Pour the apple mixture on the ready made crust. Put the flattened dough on top. Make sure that it covers the entire pie.Melt the butter and brush the top of the pie. Sprinkle the top of the pie with white sugar (optional). Bake at 475 F for 15 minutes. Then lower the temp to 350 F and bake it for 45 minutes or until golden brown.




Jay and Claudine said it was good---i guess they have no choice but to eat them! Ha!
