2. Mix the sugar, honey, rice flour, cornstarch and cinnamon together in a small mixing bowl. Toss the apples in the sugar mix and set aside.
3. Roll out your bottom and top pie crusts and transfer the bottom crust to the pie pan. Put the apples into the pie crust. Dot with butter. Cover with the top crust. Pinch the edges of the pie crust together and cut steam vents into the top pie crust. Brush the top of the pie crust with egg wash.

Mary–what is the margarita mix for? And what’s in a margarita mix anyway? We don’t make a lot of margaritas since my husband is more of a wine guy. Just wondering if I need to purchase some or if I can mix up my own.
Hi Peggy, margarita mix is basically lime juice plus some sugar. You could substitute lime or lemon juice.
