Apple Pie with Cinnamon Roll Pie Crust

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cinnamon Roll Crust: Roll out one pie disk onto a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Brush with 1 tablespoon melted butter and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons cinnamon. Roll up tightly and slice into 1/2-inch rounds, like miniature cinnamon rolls.

Arrange and press miniature cinnamon rolls, flat side down, evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch glass pie plate, making sure there are no spaces between the rolls. Take a fork and pierce holes in the bottom of the crust. Fill with apple filling, recipe below.

Repeat step one, but this time arrange "cinnamon rolls' into a circle on a flat floured surface. Roll out to a 10-inch circle and place/arrange on top of pie filling. Bake according to pie instructions below.

Apple Pie Filling: In a large mixing bowl, toss together all ingredients except butter and 1 tablespoon sugar. Pour filling into pie shell, arranging apples to fit. Dot with 3 tablespoons butter and cover with second pie shell. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of sugar.

Cover pie with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 25 minutes or until golden brown. (Do not overcook) May need to broil the last couple of minutes to brown crust. Serve al a mode with vanilla ice cream.
