Recipe Introduction


This is a crumb topping apple pie! I use Fuji apples because I like the sweetness of them, however the real recipe calls for McIntosh.


List of Ingredients




1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tsp. sugar
3 Tbsp. reduced calorie margarine, chilled
2Tbsp. water (more if needed)
4 medium Fuji apples, peeled and sliced
¼ cup sugar
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
½ tsp. ground cinnamon
1/3 cup uncooked old fashioned oats
5 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp. sugar
2 Tbsp. reduced calorie margarine, melted



Recipe



1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. To make crust, combine 1 cup flour, and 2 teaspoons of sugar in a large bowl or food processor. Add 3 Tablespoons of chilled margarine and process (or mix together with your fingers if you do not use a food processor) until mixture resembles course meal. Add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, and process or mix until a manageable dough forms. Press dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Pinch the edges to form a decorative rim; set aside.
3. To make filling, combine apples, ¼ cup of sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon in a large bowl; toss to coat apples. Arrange mixture in prepared pie crust.
4. To make topping, combine oats, 5 Tablespoons of four, 2 Tablespoons of sugar and melted margarine in a small bowl; sprinkle over apples.
5. Bake until apples are tender and crumb topping is golden brown, about 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool to 30 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.
