Unconventional apple pie

National pie day its just around the corner so before getting to the date I figured I post a pie for you to have and maybe you may feel like baking it :-)

Anyhow, this apple pie not only it is super easy to make but you don't even need a rolling pin to roll the dough. You just need your hands for this one :-)

I actually made this pie a while back but instead I made it with cranberries and with apples it is still super good. You could really make it with any fruit you prefer. I am sure it will be really good with peaches as well.

Let me know if you try it, I hope you like it as much as we do. I am sure will not be disappointed.

Enjoy!!

On the left picture you can see how I pressed half of the crust mixture onto the pie dish. The right picture is the pie right before placing it in the oven.

The pie is super yummy and the crust and topping is just delicious :-)
