1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tbsp. cinnamon candies, such as Hot Reds®, crushed
1/3 cup honey
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 to 4 cups thinly sliced baking apples
1 tbsp. margarine

For crust, prepare recipe and press bottom crust into 9" glass pie plate. Heat oven to 450°. Do not bake. Reserve dough scraps for cutouts, if desired.

For filling, heat lemon juice in small saucepan. Add crushed candies; stir until dissolved. Stir in honey and cinnamon. Set aside.

Arrange apples in unbaked pie crust. Drizzle with honey mixture. Dot with
margarine. Moisten pastry edge with water. Cover with top crust. Cut slits in top crust to allow steam to escape. Decorate with pastry cutouts, if desired.
