A couple of days ago a friend brought me some freshly picked apples. I love my friends. I hate apples. However, I couldn't say no to garden apples and thought I could make my boyfriend some apple pies. My baking reputation precedes me (not in the good ways), so I had to go online to search for some pie crust recipes. It was fairly easy to make, once I stopped trying to make the dough with a hand mixer. Keep reading for step by step instructions.

For the ingredients, you will need Apples - Duhh 2 cups Flour 150gr of butter Salt Sugar Cinnamon
The first thing I did was ot cut the butter in little squares so that the mixing process is easier. Then I added it to the flour and salt in a bowl. Since I dont have a fancy mixer (unemployed, dont judge) i had to do the mixing part the dirty way, by hand. The secret is to squeze the squares together with the flour to get it all well blended.
You're gonna do this until you have a ball of dough and everything is well together.
Putting the dough aside, you can wrap it or leave it with a dishcloth. mines were all dirty, so I chose to wrap it up.
Now it's the time to empty our apples. I wanted to try something I saw on pinterest, wich were the apple pies INSIDE the apple, so I took 3 apples out of the six i had to try it out. I emptied those 3 apples and put them aside. I also cut the other 3 apples and the apples' insides in squares.
For the stuffin I put the apples' insides in a bowl and mixed it with the sugar and the cinnamon. I cannot give you the exact amount cause I did it by flavor; if it was too spicy, a little more of sugar; too sugary, a little more cinnamon.
Now we make the dough flat with a rolling pin and we cut some stripes to put it on top of the apples.
Next thing I forgot to take photos, but you pretty much have to stuff the apples with the apple-cinnamon mix and then decorate with the stripes of dough I had some mix and dough and stuffing left, but since I dont have anything to cook a pie on, I decided to make little squares of pies. Leave it in the oven until it is goldeny.
Final product, fresh put of tthe oven. The squares worked out great, but the apples themselves were a little droppy. It tasted amazing, though, even for me. My boyfriend dicint like the apples that much, but he loved the suares
