Peel the apples
You are now required to peel and core 8 apples. Mix and match them if you want to. Slice the apples any way you want to once they are peeled. Now place these slices of apple in a large bowl before pouring in a couple of tablespoons of lemon juice and mix them nicely. Lemon juice will keep the apples from turning brown.

Pie crust
Place the apples aside and grab the pie crust from the freezer after you have preheated your oven to 350 degrees F for 15 minutes. Now pour the dried beans over the pie crust, which should keep the bottom of the pie crust from rising. You can now place the pie crust in the oven and bake it for about half an hour. Remove it from the oven once it is brown and allow it to cool down. Once cooled, remove the dried beans from the crust.
