PI DAY! Also known as “Pie Day!”  🙂

I had seen this recipe on my Facebook news feed and really wanted to try it out. I’m definitely a novice baker, and really want to become better at it. This recipe looked delicious, and had a fun twist on a traditional pie crust.

First, you’ll need two puff pastries. Lay them out on parchment paper and brush with melted butter.

Generously sprinkle with cinnamon.

Roll up both puff pastries length-wise.

Cut the puff pastries into 1/4 inch circles. We chose to use unflavored floss instead of a knife, since it kept the circles more whole without squishing them at all.

Using the cut circles, we placed them all along the bottom and sides of a greased pie dish.

Once all the circles were placed, I squished them down to fully cover the bottom and sides of the pie dish. This is my favorite Pioneer Woman pie dish!

We mixed the cut apples, we used five, with sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a large bowl. We added lemon juice to keep the apples fresh.

Once the apples were fully mixed, we put added them to the pie dish, situating them evenly on top of the pie crust.

Using the other half of the rolled and cut puff pastry, I placed them on parchment paper, covered them with parchment paper, and rolled them flat with a rolling pin.

I placed the sheet of puff pastry on the top of the pie, cutting the edges to make it fit just right.

We put it in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 53 minutes – the recipe called for 40 minutes, but it wasn’t quite done. We should have just increased the temperature because of our high altitude, but hindsight is 20/20.

Not only was this pie beautiful, but it was so delicious! It’s definitely worth making!
