My Mum's Apple Pie

Submitted by JohannaR

"The only real kind of apple pie, finnish-style I guess. This isn't what most people, especially americans, are used to but it's delicious and tastes just as good after being frozen and melted as it did freshly baked. Can be served both hot and cold (I quite like it when it's still a bit frozen)."

8. Mix the sugar and the cinnamon and sprinkle over the apples.
9. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes or until batter is cooked (test by sticking a toothpick into the batter, if the stick is clean when you take it out, the pie is ready, if crumbs stick to it, let the pie bake for a while).
