As American As Apple Pie - Only Easier

Easier Than Apple Pie

1 refrigerated pie crust
1 egg white, lightly beaten
¾ cup sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon cinnamon
4 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (about 4 medium apples)
1 teaspoon sugar

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare crust as directed on package. Place on foil-lined baking sheet. If necessary, press out any folds or creases. Brush crust with about ½ of the beaten egg white.

Mix ¾ cup sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in medium bowl. Toss with apples. Spoon into center of crust, spreading to within 2 inches of edges. Fold 2-inch edge over apples, pleating of folding crust as needed. Brush crust with remaining egg white; sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.

Bake 20 minutes or until apples are tender. Cool slightly before serving. Yield: 8 servings.

(All the taste of a homemade apple pie with WAY less work.  And awesome with vanilla ice cream!)
