- 1 roll pie crust (or 1 homemade pie crust)
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 Tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- Pinch of salt
- 4 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450. Lightly grease a rimmed baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Lay the pie crust flat in the center of the baking sheet.
- In a mixing bowl, toss together the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, allspice and pinch of salt. Gently toss in the thinly sliced apples. Place the mixture into the middle of the pie crust.
