The Ban on Cinnamon in Apple Pie (with Apple Flavored Apple Pie Recipe)

Whenever we share our apple pies, people ask how we got it to taste so good.  Do we use a special secret ingredient?  Maybe reduced cider or spike it with a liquor?  Nope, all it takes is ditching the cinnamon that a lot of people think is required in an apple pie.  Without cinnamon demanding your tongue’s attention, the power of the apple comes through and it is simply stunning.  Cinnamon and apple can be a good combination, but we’d like to invite you to a world where the apple pie actually tastes like apples. 

Make all your holiday pie crusts in September and relax

What’s better than a completely homemade pie? How about not having to make everything on the same day.  How about knowing that you can have a crust with good ingredients that you selected and care about that will give you a good, flaky result.  Cut a huge chunk of time and effort and frustration out of baking those Thanksgiving pies by just pulling a ready to go disk of pie crust dough out of the freezer.  When Christmas rolls around, no worries, there’s more crusts in there waiting.  “How did you do it?” Your impressed friends and relatives will gasp. “I never have the time to make my own crust!”
