Best Apple Pie Recipe with a Sweet Cinnamon Taste
Tis the season for harvest pies that are enjoyed all through the fall months into winter. If you are planning to make a pie this Thanksgiving, an apple pie is always a wonderful addition and a complement to the pumpkin or pecan pie. Truth in our home, we love to have all three pies for our Thanksgiving feast! So one thing that I always do after apple picking month, is I like to make multiple apple pies and freeze them. I have our best apple pie all ready to go when Thanksgiving come and it makes it so easy to just pop it in the oven. We love this apple pie recipe and have been making it for many years!

Let me be honest with you–most of the time I buy pre-made pie crusts for my pies. It’s faster and sometimes more convenient and the pie crusts taste great. But if I have the time, I also will make my own pie crusts. I have a couple favorite pie crust recipes I like, but still haven’t quite perfected the pie crust!
