Hawaiian Mountain Apple Lattice Pie

There's nothing quite like biting into a hot homemade apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream. This apple pie, though, is a little different in that it's made with Hawaiian mountain apples, which are a bit smaller and more floral in flavor than their more common counterparts.

Top the apple pie filling with a beautiful lattice crust and you have everything for an extraordinary dessert experience. Lattice crusts look hard to create, but really it just takes a little bit of extra time.

If you're looking for a more traditional apple pie using your Hawaiian mountain apples, you can easily substitute the filling for any other apple pie filling recipe. Enjoy!

Prepare the lattice dough:

1. Roll the dough out and cut it into 12 1inch strips.
2. Lay the first layer of 6 dough strips across the pie.
3. Pull the dough back on every other one to lay one strip of dough underneath it going the opposite direction.
4. Lay the first layer of dough back again so that it’s on top.
5. Repeat this process with the remaining dough strips until you finish your lattice pie crust.
6. Pinch the dough hanging off the edges of the pie pan to create a crust.
