Mom’s Flat Apple Pie – This is a great pie for a picnic or potluck. You can pick it up and eat it with your hands. No gooey, drippy mess, but super moist!! The picture that I posted is one of the pictures of the pie my “little” brother made. He is such a great cook as well.

How to Make Mom’s Flat Apple Pie:
Test Kitchen Tips: We used a 15×10-inch cookie sheet pan for baking. Also, you could do anywhere between 8-10 apples depending on their size. We only used 8 while testing.
1. Mix ingredients for crust (which are the first 4 ingredients on the list).
2. Roll out half of the dough to fit a cookie sheet.
3. Sprinkle with Corn Flakes.
4. Place sliced apples on top of Corn Flakes.
5. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of apples. Dot with butter.
6. Add top crust to cover.
7. Beat egg white and sugar and brush on top of pie. Cut a few slits in the top of the pie crust.
