Simple Apple Pie recipe
I didn't grow up with the hot apple pie you see in old movies/TV shows. But I did grow up with MacDonald's apple pie. I love the juicy apple taste and the deep fried pastry! It's not healthy for you, but I do eat it as a treat now and then.
This simple recipe is made with store brought square puff pastry and apples. It's quick and easy. It's baked in the oven, so it's more healthier than deep frying it.
