SHARON'S WHISKEY-FRENCH APPLE PIE

Sharon's Whiskey-French Apple Pie image

This is an adaptation of Fresh Apple Pie from a really old Betty Crocker cookbook. I spiced it up at hubby's request by adding a shot glass of whiskey. Might be a neat idea to also add 1/2 cup raisins.

This pie was delicious! The crust was flaky and the filling was sweet and tart. The whiskey flavor was subtle but it really added something special to the pie. I would definitely make this pie again.

This pie was easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pie crust to save time, and the filling was simple to put together. The whiskey flavor was subtle but it really added something special to the pie.
