apple pie

Apple Pie
- 1 pie crust (yes, I cheat and buy the pre-made ones but they're good!)
- 3/4 cup apple sauce
- 3 or 4 medium size apples thinly sized
- 2 tbsp apricot jam mixed with 2 tbsp water
Applesauce:
Peel and quarter as many apples as you can, throw 'em in a big pot and add a little bit of water just so they don't stick to the bottom (they'll make their own juice as soon as they start cooking). Turn down the heat and slowly let them cook until most of them break up and the rest are soft. Remove from heat and blend until smooth using an electric mixer. Add brown sugar to taste.
Pie:
Spread applesauce on the pie crust and then layer the apples in a spiral shape across the top. Finish with a light glaze of the apricot jam and bake at 350F for 20 minutes or until the apples are golden brown.
