Baking--and eating! Like a boss.

I love baking.

It's one of my favorite hobbies, besides drawing, dancing, and wasting time on my computer. (:

If you like apple pie, here's my favorite recipe of all time. 

Ingredients

Dough and Filling:

• Dough for a double crust 9-inch pie (homemade, frozen, or refrigerated)
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Dash salt
• 3 1/2 cups peeled, chopped cooking apples
• 1 (16-ounce) jar applesauce
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter, chopped into small pieces

Crunch Topping:

• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• Dash salt
• 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature

Directions

1.) Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

2.) Line a 9-inch pie pan with half of dough. 

3.) Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. 

4.) Stir in apples, applesauce, and lemon juice. 

5.) Spoon apple mixture into pie pan and dot with butter. 

6.) Cut remaining crust into strips; arrange in a lattice design over top of pie.

**You don't have to do a lattice crust, but it looks prettier. :D Here's a video on how to lattice a pie crust if you don't already know how to do it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hv4809RKhzg&feature=related

For the crunch topping (delicious!)...

1.) Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. 

2.) Cut in butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. 

3.) Sprinkle over top of crust. 

4.) Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 degrees F and continue to bake for about 45 minutes, or until crust and topping are golden brown.

Enjoy!
