Perfect Apple Pie.  An All-American favorite!  Flaky crust and tart-sweet apples with cinnamon spice.  This is my husband's very favorite dessert.  I make if for Father's Day, his birthday, and always on holidays.  It's fair to say that this is the Perfect Apple Pie.

I will let you in on a little secret.  I always use refrigerated pie crust.  But if you really want to make your own, here is a great recipe and it can be kept in the freezer.
