9-inch double Classic Crisco Pie Crust
1 large egg whites, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1 teaspoon sugar for sprinkling

Preparation Directions:

Heat oven to 400°F.

Prepare pie crusts; set aside.

Toss apples with sugar, flour and cinnamon. Pour into unbaked pie crust; dot with butter. Cover with top crust; seal and flute edge. Brush with egg white. Cut slits for steam to escape.
