Apple Crisp Pie

INGREDIENTS:

  • 5 to 6 cups thinly sliced apples, a combination of varieties
  • juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 deep-dish pie shell, unbaked, 9-inch
  • .
  • Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

PREPARATION:

Toss sliced apples with lemon juice to coat well. Add 1/2 cup sugar and the brown sugar, 1/4 cup melted butter, flour, and spices, stir until mixture is well blended. Prepare pie shell.

In a food processor, combine topping ingredients; pulse until mixture is crumbly. You can also use a pastry blender or forks to cut this mixture together.

Pour apple mixture into the prepared pie shell. Sprinkle topping mix evenly over top of apples.

Place in preheated 375° oven. Bake for about 45 to 60 minutes, until apples are tender and topping is browned. Check after about 30 to 35 minutes to make sure the crust isn’t getting too brown. Use a pie shield or ring of foil to protect the crust edge if necessary.
