Tips: I know that making a homemade apple pie does not seem like an easy task for a mom with little time on her hands. However, I found a trick. Enter Pampered Chef's Apple Peeler/Slicer/Corer . This handy contraption peels, slices and cores an apple in a minute (honestly!). You could easily have all 6-7 apples needed for this recipe done in 10 minutes. I always avoided making homemade apple pies because it took me so long to prepare the apples. It also slices the apples very thin (1/8 inch) so they all get cooked and you're not left with crunchy apples in your pie.
