  • 1  refrigerated pie crust

  Brush melted butter on top of pie crusts and sprinkle pie crusts with cinnamon-coconut sugar.

  Place apples in a high walled baking dish. Add about 1/4 cup of water to bottom of dish to just cover the bottoms of the apples. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and return to oven for an additional 20 minutes. Apples are done when crust is golden brown along edges and apples are soft to slice.
