Southwestern Green Apple Pie

• 1 (9 inch) unbaked pie shells
• 6 -7 green granny smith apples (or a green or pink lady mix)
• 4 ounces green chili peppers, diced (one of those little 4-oz cans)
• 12 cup brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
• 14 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or extra if you dare!)

1. Wash and core the apples, and cut them into regular segments.
2. Make sure that all pits, stems, seeds, and seed pods have been removed.
3. Put the apple pieces into a heavy-bottomed saucepan (a must for easy dispersion with the brown sugar) along with the can of chiles, liquid and all,on medium heat.
4. Add the brown sugar.
5. It's okay if it's lumpy or hard because it's going to melt.
6. Stir around until the sugar is mostly dissolved.
7. Spice the mixture to your liking, preferably a teaspoon or two of apple pie spice and 1/4-1/2 tsp red cayenne -- more if you dare!
8. Add the cornstarch and stir in well.
9. Keep the heat on low and let simmer for about 5 minutes, and stir well again, it should have a nice thick glue-like consistency.
10. Pour into the pie shell and pat down evenly.
11. Add a lattice or top crust, bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes after topping.
