Cooking with Country Time Lemonade is one of my personal baking secrets. This pie is tart sweet and a delightful change in baking an apple pie. Stays moist and delicious while not drying out during baking. I hate a dry apple pie or one that turns into applesauce. Refrigerate left overs and this recipe is great with ice cream, whip cream, cool whip or as is. Hope you love this as much as my family does. Included is my reliable crust recipe which I use for pot pies as well. Maybe not picture perfect every time but delicious, flaky and always eaten.

    Moistened my counter and placed a strip of aluminum foil onto the dampened counter top. Lightly floured the surface and placed a large ball of the crust mixture. Rolled out the dough large enough to cover the pie. Inverted the aluminum foil over the the top of the crust dropping the top piece into place. I always have enough crust to make a single empty pie shell for whatever pie you wish.
