How to Make Apple Blush Pie

  1. Prepare your favorite pie dough (or use a store-bought crust).
  2. Roll out the bottom crust and carefully line a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Peel, core, and slice 5 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced). Place the apples in a large bowl.
  4. Add 1 cup crushed pineapple (canned, drained), 1 cup crushed cinnamon hearts (reserve some whole for topping), 2 tablespoons lemon juice, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gently mix all ingredients until the apples are evenly coated.
  6. Pour the apple mixture into the pie shell. Dot the top with 4 tablespoons of cold butter, cut into small pieces.
  7. Roll out the top crust and place it over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal and cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  8. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 60-65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly and the apples are tender. If the crust starts browning too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  10. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
