This is my favourite way to make a quick apple pie, without the pie pan or having too many ingredients. The original calls for a cookie sheet and immense mounds of apples and pastry, so this is my own version, wittled down a bit.
Take your best pastry recip and make enough for two rounds to fit a pizza pan. I sometimes cheat and buy premade pastry. Makes it easier sometimes. Whatever works best for you.
Peel and cut in slices, 5 large Granny Smith apples, into a bowl with abot 1/2 cup lemon juice, tossing apple slices as you go. This keeps the fruit from browning. Add 4 tablespoons tapioca, 1/2 cup sugar and a god dash of cinnamon ( sorry, I don't measure too many things, so the cinnamon amount is a guesstimate). Combine.
Pile onto pastry in pizza pan . Dot with litle dabs os butter ( this keeps the pasty from being soggy)
Seal with other pastry round, crimp edges up to secure filling, brush top of slab with beaten egg. Though, this time I had egg whites in a carton, in the fridge, so jus used some of that. Worked great. Poke in pastry with sharp knife.
Sprinkle with a mix of cinnamon and sgar ( a must) and then bake at 450 degrees for about 14 minutes to brown pastry. Turn down the heat to 35o nd bake abot 27 minutes after that. You can always add minutes if the slab is not completely done. This is sooooooooo good.
