Pie, Apple-Crumb

List of Ingredients

PIE:
6 to 7 cups (about 8 apples) thinly sliced, peeled, cored apples (I like using Granny Smith for their tartness).
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 to 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Dash of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell
1-1/2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons butter

TOPPING:
1 cup flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter



Recipe

TO MAKE FILLING: In a large mixing bowl, combine apples, 3/4 cup sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Sprinkle pie shell with 1-1/2 tablespoons of sugar and then put apple mixture into shell. Dot with butter. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

TO MAKE TOPPING: Combine flour and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Cut butter into this mixture until crumbs the size of small peas form. Cover pie with topping; use your hands to pat it on snugly and completely cover apples. Bake until deep golden brown, about 45 to 55 minutes.
