Instructions:

• Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature will help create a beautifully golden crust.
• Step 2: Prepare the Pie Dish - Unroll one disk of the store-bought pie crust and lay it gently into your 9-inch pie dish. Press it down to fit snugly, ensuring there are no air pockets.
• Step 3: Fill the Pie - Open your cans of apple pie filling and pour the contents into the crust, spreading it evenly. If you’re using homemade filling, make sure it’s cooled before adding.
• Step 4: Create the Spooky Face - Roll out the second pie crust. Using a sharp knife, cut out shapes for eyes, a nose, and a mouth to create a spooky face. Get creative!
• Step 5: Assemble the Pie - Place the cut-out face over the filled pie. If you want, you can use some leftover dough to create additional decorations, like cobwebs or spiders.
• Step 6: Egg Wash and Sugar - In a small bowl, beat the egg with the tablespoon of milk. Brush this mixture over the top crust. Then sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the top for added sweetness and shine.
• Step 7: Bake - Place your pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
• Step 8: Cool and Serve - Once baked, remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat!
