Way back when, a box of frozen pie shells were bought and there was still one rolled pie shell in the freezer waiting for inspiration. What better to bring on the Thanksgiving cheer than canned apple pie or in this case an oversize handheld apple pie.
Ingredients:
One frozen pie shell, defrosted

Well, it was no homemade apple pie but it was way better than those fried handheld apple pie that so many fast food joints sell. Its a good thing the apple was not made into a pie and the crust did not hold its form and crumbled when cut, crumbled with served, and crumbled when placed in the mouth. It was great, it was like dutch apple crumble without all the extra sugar. Too bad it was only half a pie shell as it would have been great with a small scoop of ice cream!
