Apple Crumble Pie

Recipe by Joyce'S

9"-10" prepared unbaked pie crust (recipe follows)

Preheat oven 350°

1 slightly beaten egg*

10-12 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored & sliced

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

3 tbsp flour

1 tsp cinnamon (or more)

dash nutmeg

Topping:
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup oatmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 stick butter, melted

 

Combine sugar, flour, spices & a dash of nutmeg together; mix thoroughly with apples.

Pour into unbaked pie crust.

Making the crumble:

Mix all ingredients together till crumbly like a coarse cornmeal.

Sprinkle evenly over the apples. Bake 50-60 minutes, turning pie every so often, till juice is thick.

* NOTE: Before adding the apples to the unbaked crust, brush the crust with the beaten egg,

pierce the bottom with a fork several times.  This will prevent your crust from going soggy.

TIP: Cover the crumble lightly with a piece of tin foil to avoid to much browning at first.

About 20 minutes before the end of baking remove.
