    List of Ingredients




    4 large seedless oranges
    1 tablespoon lemon juice
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup flour
    Dash of salt
    1 unbaked 10-inch pie crust
    Crumb topping:
    1/2 cup flour
    1/4 cup sugar
    Dash of salt
    2 tablespoons unsalted butter

    Recipe



    Heat oven to 400 degrees. Remove rind from one orange, using a microplane or grater. Set rind aside. Completely peel all 4 oranges. The easiest way to do this is to slice a piece off each end, then, making several swipes, carve down and around the curve of the orange, cutting off the rind and the thin white membrane that attaches the rind to the flesh. You will be left with juicy globes. Cut the globes in half vertically, and slice the orange thinly into half moons. Place slices in large mixing bowl. After you slice all oranges, tilt bowl and pour out any extra juice (drink it!). To orange slices, add saved rind, lemon juice, sugar, flour and salt. Pour into prepared pie crust.

    Make crumb topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Cut in butter with pastry cutter or a fork, until mixture turns into crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs on top of oranges in pie shell, and bake for 45 minutes. Remove from oven, cool to room temperature and serve.

    Makes 8 servings.

    Ingredient note: I use prepared Pillsbury pie crusts sold in a red box
    in the refrigerated section near the butter, usually. They are rolled
    out
    flat, and then folded in quarters, and have the best flavor of all the
    bought crusts, in my opinion.
