I'm lazy. But it's the lazy people who invented the wheel and the bicycle because they didn't like walking or carrying things....

Lazy Ass Swedish Pie

1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups diced apples
1/2 cup chopped nuts (Optional)

Add all ingredients to a bowl, mix.

Grease two pie pans (8-9”), divide mix evenly between pans, smooth out to edges of pans. Bake 350°F. for 35-40 minutes. ‘Pie makes its own crust’

*This turns out like an apple coffee cake

*This recipe is from Baby Alice Jensen, who was a very sweet lady. She was a very good friend of my grandmother. Baby Alice and her husband Ralph were Norwegian, so naturally she called this Norwegian Pie. However, I'm married to a Swede who is lazy and likes pie, so...

*I use Granny Smiths for this recipe, and I use an alligator chopper rather than hand-dicing the apples, but any way you prefer to cut the apples works fine. Walnuts are nice, but not required. I have found that you can't add too much cinnamon to this...so if you like cinnamon....
