Recipe for "Easy Apple Pie"

Tips

1. Flour acts as thickening agent.

2. I added lemon juice because I am using Fuji apples and Fuji is not pungent enough. If you are using Granny Smith, you can skip lemon.

3. You can make your own pie crust dough by googling the easy recipe on the internet. Because i don't really know how, i just use the instant pie crust instead.

4. A simple egg wash = an egg + one tablespoon of water
