Mom's Homemade Apple Pie with only 2 Ingredients. Sort of from scratch...

Most of us remember the sweet smell of homemade pies baking in the oven. Many of us have never made a pie from scratch. I'm one of them. (Raises Hand). Sadly I have only ventured into cookies, boxed cakes, brownies, and breads. I have however warmed a pre-made pie up in the oven. Ok, I know that doesn't count. So much for the vintage housewife gig, right? This past week I decided to make a pie. Sort of from scratch.

I bought a small box of Jiffy Pie Mix at my last grocery store visit. The box said made since 1935. So I was curious and it was $.75 and at that price I thought why not? I was sure I could make use of it. I didn't read the rest package and assumed I would need to add eggs, milk or some other ingredients to the mix.

I had also purchased can's pie filling in Apple, Cherry and Key Lime and usually have these on hand. I found these to be extremely cheap at just $1 at our local Dollar Store. I stocked up on those cans, as I like to make dump cakes for my family.



So there I had it. Two Ingredients was all I needed for my pie. I added some cinnamon and sugar to the top of the pie just to make it pretty.

I was surprised to find all I was going to need to do for the Jiffy Pie Mix was add a few tablespoons of water and mix it with a fork. Now I am an accomplished pie maker. Sort of. Maybe you can try making your hubby one tonight?
