Tips:

Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will make it easier to eat the pie and will also help to prevent the apples from browning.
Don't overcrowd the pie pan. If you do, the apples will not cook evenly. Leave some space between the apples so that they can cook properly.
Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. This usually takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Let the pie cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and will also make the pie easier to slice.
Serve the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This will make the pie even more delicious!

Conclusion:

Aunt Totsie's Mock Apple Pie is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust and sweet and tangy filling, this pie is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a delicious dessert, give this recipe a try.
