Ingredients
-
-
5 1/2 cups thinly sliced baking apples (I usually use jonathon)
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
1/2 cup granulated sugar
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
-
-
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup granulated sugar
-
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
Instructions
- Beat one egg and brush into the bottom and sides of the graham cracker pie crust. Cook the pie crust for 5 minutes in the oven at 375 degrees.
- After removing the pie crust from the oven, combine all filling ingredients and spoon into the crust.
- Mix all topping ingredients with a pastry cutter until blended well and crumbly. Top filled pie with topping and bake for 50 minutes at 375 degrees.
- You can use either a regular pastry pie crust, or a graham cracker crust. I use a graham cracker crust because it gives the pie a sweeter, more flavorful taste. I always use a store bought graham cracker crust only because it's faster than making one, however, if you have a great homemade graham cracker crust recipe, the pie will present prettier in a nice pie dish. I usually buy the 9 ounce graham cracker crust. It's a little larger (and will usually be labeled with "2 extra servings" on the package) because by the time you get your topping on the pie it's pretty full.
- If you would prefer to make this recipe gluten free, use a gluten free flour mixture in the filling and the topping mixes. For the crust substitute with either a gluten free pastry, or a gluten free graham cracker crust, or simply bake without the crust in a pan and top with some vanilla ice cream (Edy's Grand French Vanilla is gluten free).
- Yum! Enjoy.
