Ever heard of the phrase “Easy as Pie?” I hate to break it to you, but while pie is my ultimate favorite dessert to bake and eat, pie isn’t always easy. There are lots of steps involved. The perfect flaky crust can be so elusive, and it’s quite time consuming. However, there is nothing better than the buttery, cinnamony goodness of an apple pie baking in the oven. All the cozy smells in the house are comforting and warm. So, if you are looking for a delicious mouthful of apple pie without any of the hassle, look no further! Apple pie in a mug really is easier than pie!
