It may still be blissfully warm outside, but Apple season is in full swing! We went for a ride this weekend and picked up some apples from the local farm store. As much as I love summer & berry picking- Fall & Apple season are a very close second!!

This recipe is quick and easy to pull together. It uses a store bought pre-made pie dough (gasp). I have no shame in this- Trader Joe’s has a decent pie crust in the freezer section. I always make sure to have a box on hand for when I’m not in the mood to make a scratch crust. If you haven’t tried it, I suggest you give it a whirl. It’s great in a pinch!

Here’s what you’ll need:

• store bought frozen pie crust, thawed overnight in the refrigerator.

• 6 medium Granny Smith apples

• Light brown sugar

• Cinnamon

• Flour

• heavy cream (optional)
