When my dad was little he didn't like the chunks of apples in an apple pie, so my Grandmother came up with this recipe for Applesauce Pie, which if you ask me is just as good or better, and definitely quicker to prep!
1 48 oz jar of Cinnamon flavored Applesauce
2 cups water
1/2 cup corn starch
1 cup sugar
4 tsp lemon juice
2 prepared pie crusts
Pour entire jar of applesauce in a large pan. (You can use plain applesauce and then add cinnamon if you want.)
Pour water and corn starch into empty applesauce jar and shake until corn starch and water are mixed well. Add to apple sauce. Add sugar and lemon juice.
Bring mixture to a boil. Stirring often so that it doesn't burn to the bottom of the pan. As it boils the mixture will thicken and change color. Let the mixture boil until it can't be stirred down. When the mixture is thick, pour into pie crusts. It will make 2 pies. Bake at 375 until the pie crust is done. Let cool and then refrigerate until ready to eat.

Through trial and error, I have learned that some applesauce is runnier than others... you may need to add slightly more corn starch if it isn't thickening up.
