Apple & Walnut Pie

Posted at http://mynew30.blogspot.com/

1 cup of granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 Pillsbury ready made pie crusts, or make your own
1 pound of walnuts, ground
2 pounds of apples, peeled, cored & sliced
Breyer's all natural vanilla ice cream - essential!

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Combine the sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Unroll one of the pie crusts and place into a deep dish pie pan. Do not dock the crust!

Place a layer of ground walnuts in the bottom of the crust, top with half of the apples, then half of the cinnamon sugar. Repeat one more layer with walnuts, apples and cinnamon sugar, piling the apples up higher in the center. Lay the other crust over the top and tuck the edges under the bottom crust; pinch to seal. Cut slits in the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes. Remove and place strips of aluminum foil around the edges of the pie plate. Return to the oven and bake an additional 30 to 35 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling begins to bubble.

Remove and cool for at least 1 hour before cutting. Top with Breyer's vanilla ice cream.
