2 boxes prepared pie crusts (Like Pillsbury, found in the refrigerated section)
Instructions
Peel and core apples, slice thin
In a large bowl, add the sliced apples, white sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
Toss to combine.
On a lightly floured surface, combine two of the prepared pie crusts by rolling them out, and adding a little water to the seams to make one large bottom crust.
Place the crust in the cake pan, making sure the crust goes up the sides and trim any extra, and set aside.
Sprinkle the bottom of the pie crust with brown sugar.
Add the apple mixture.
Dot the top with the cubed butter and bread cubes
Prepare the top crust the same way you prepared the bottom crust and lay it on top. Tuck the excess top crust under the side of the bottom crust as best you can. Trim and crimp the crust.
With a little of the leftover pie crust, cut leaf shapes using a sharp knife (or use leaf cookie cutters).
Cut slits in the top of the pie. I cut 12 small slits evenly spaced on the top. Then lay your pastry leaves on top.
Using an egg wash, brush the entire surface of the pie.
Bake at 400º for 10 minutes, then lower the heat to 375º and bake for 1 hour.
Cover loosely with foil if the edges look like they are beginning to burn at the end of baking.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before slicing.
