I made these 2 mile high apple pies using 5 different varieties of Apples. I got the apples from the REDUCED PRODUCE RACK a bargain @ 99 cents each package of 6 and had 4 packages, and it only cost me $3.96 for the apples. I really love it when I get a bargain. I decided to make my husband a pie and give the other one to a neighbor. The neighbor was estatic. The 4 packages weighed about 12 pounds before I peeled and sliced them. I used McIntosh, Gayla, Golden Delicious, Red Delicious, & Granny Smith, I decided to make 2 Mile High Apple Pies using Splenda, a bit different from my usual recipe.

  • 5
    Unroll pie crust and place in deep pie dish. Prick bottom of pie crust with fork. Then add the apples equally among both pie crusts. Top apples with equal pats of butter.
  • 6
    Add top crust to top of apples and seal top crust to bottom crust by pinching and rolling the two crusts together. Cut 5-6 slits in top of each pie which allows steam to escape as pie cooks.
