Country Apple Pie

My Country Apple Pie recipe is super basic with sweet and tart apples, sugar, and cinnamon, and a tender scratch crust that’s beginner easy!

This recipe is designed to give you three pies, though they needn’t all be baked at once. You do the grunt work now for a pie a week or a month from now.
