#1874 - Apple Crumb Pie

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 unbaked pie crust dough
5-7 tart baking apples (washed, peeled, cored and sliced)
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 to 1 tsp. cinnamon
Topping: 1/3 cup white sugar; 3/4 cup flour, 6 TBSP butter

Spray a pie plate with Pam--insert pie dough, flute the edges, and spray the inside of the dough with Pam. Place sliced apples in the pie dough. In a bowl add 1/2 cup white sugar and cinnamon--stir. Sprinkle the cinnamon mixture over the apples. In a bowl add flour, 1/3 cup white sugar and butter--mix with your hands or with a pastry blender until it makes crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the apples. Place the pie on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 35-45 minutes or until apples are tender. If crust edges brown too quickly, cover it with strips of foil.
