grandma vera's dutch apple pie

pie ingredients:

1 unbaked pie crust

about 6 cups apples, peeled & sliced (this is about 6-8 apples, depending on how big they are)

3 Tbsp. butter, melted

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

crumbly topping ingredients:

3/4 cup flour

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1/3 cup softened butter

1/3 cup brown sugar

Place sliced, peeled apples in a large bowl. Pour melted butter over apples, stir in sugar and cinnamon.  Place apple mixture in unbaked pie crust. Mix the topping ingredients together until crumbly (you might give yourself a good 5 minutes to really get everything incorporated and crumb-like).  Gently pour crumbs over top of apples, sprinkle with a little extra cinnamon. :)  Bake at 425 degrees F for 20 minutes, THEN turn down the oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 more minutes.

 

 

 

YUM!!  Enjoy all by itself-- (it can stand alone!) OR with vanilla ice cream and perhaps a mug of coffee. :)
