Cookie Crust Deep-Dish Apple Pie
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 45 min. + chilling Bake: 40 min.
YIELD: 15 servings.
One of my favorite make-and-take desserts, this deep-dish pie is based on an old Hungarian recipe that's popular in this part of Ohio. The easy cookie crust is the best part. —Diane Shipley, Mentor, Ohio
