Mom\u2019s Flat Apple Pie \u2013 This is a great pie for a picnic or potluck. You can pick it up and eat it with your hands. No gooey, drippy mess, but super moist!!

How to Make Mom\u2019s Flat Apple Pie:
Test Kitchen Tips: We used a 15\u00d710-inch cookie sheet pan for baking. Also, you could do anywhere between 8-10 apples depending on their size. We only used 8 while testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Mix ingredients for crust (which are the first 4 ingredients on the list).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Roll out half of the dough to fit a cookie sheet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Sprinkle with Corn Flakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Place sliced apples on top of Corn Flakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
