Your July 4th celebrations would not be complete without ending the party with a traditional, all American dessert … yep … the Apple Pie!
There is nothing better than walking into a home and smelling an apple pie baking in the oven. It instantly reminds me of the holidays… Apple Pie is one of my favorite desserts to make when I have people coming over so enjoy!

- Pour apple mixture into pie crust.
- In your mixing bowl now combine together your crumble ingredients by hand until you have created a coarse crumble mixture.
- Spread a layer of the crumble topping over your apple filling.
- With the remaining pie pastry cut into long strips roughly 1/2-1 inch wide. We made roughly 7 strips. This will be used for the stripes of your american flag design.
- Combine the scraps of the pastry together and roll out. Using a star cookie cutter, push out star shapes in your pie crust to create the corner of your american flag design.
- Lay in the top left corner of your apple pie the star pastry. Cut away as needed. Lay out your stripes across the top to complete your flag design.
- Bake in the oven for 50-60 minutes or until your pastry is golden brown and your apples are tender.
