Created this pie for my husband, and he titled it trish's pizzapie. It is like the "rustic" pastries and is as easy as playing in a sandbox. The store-bought pie crusts can be rolled out this way. You might need 1 1/2 pie crusts or use less fruit and make a mini pizzapie. Read more or a "free-standing deep dish" pie The amount of sugar depends on the apples. Less sugar makes the apples star.

How to make it
- After washing and coring the apples, slice thinly. (I do this in my food processor). Place the slices in a deep mixing bowl and sprinkle on the spices, tossing gently in the bowl. Set aside.
- Rolling out the crust:
- Take cold dough out of freezer, and roll out on a lightly floured surface to about the size of a 9 inch pie plate. The object is to thin out the dough, and leave enough thickness to transfer to baking sheet. If using a rectangular pan for baking, create an oval or a more rectangular shape with even thickness before transterring to the baking vessel.
- Possibilities :
- a pizza pan , a large pyrex casserole, a baking sheet with an edge to catch the juices--like a jellyroll pan.
- When ready to transfer, gently fold the dough sheet in half, and place on baking sheet which is in close proximity, placiing the best way to facilitate easy unfolding.
- Now place the apple slices in a little steep mountain stack in the center of the rolled out dough. Gently bring up the corners of the dough , creating a "basket" and pinch-close the joining sheets of dough to seal. If a hole appears from too much pulling or a poking out fruit slice, find a thicker edge from the top edges of the pastry and "bandage" it over the hole; and gently "pinch" all around the bandage. Now stick it in the preheated 425 F oven. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Reduce temperature to 350 F and bake for 30 minutes, or until the pie starts to bubble and the crust is golden.
- Meanwhile mix together the topping ingredients in a small deep bowl. Remove pie from oven, and pour topping over it. Return to oven immediately and back 5 minutes (or until topping is melted and dripping all over the pizzapie.) Cool slightly before serving warm. vanilla ice cream, cool whip. nada .
- bon apetit!!
