How to make an apple pie:

Peel 4 apples

and chop

until you get this:

slice each wedge into 3-4 pieces:

pour 1 tbsp of lemon juice over and set aside:

In a separate bowl mix 1 tsp cinnamon, 3/4 c sugar, 2 tbls flour, and a dash of salt

toss with apples

press pie crust into pie pan and flute the edges by pinching a little bit of dough on the outside and pressing your finger in the pinch from the inside

(*secret confession: this is actually my cherry pie crust)

Then blend 1/3 c butter, 1/3 c firmly packed brown sugar, and 2/3 c flour until crumbly.

Pour apple mixture into crust

Followed by crumble topping

Bake at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes

Enjoy!

For best results, serve warm with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream.
