Apple Crisp Pie

For crust lovers this pie has a classic pastry bottom. But for apple crisp lovers it's got a crumbly, cinnamon topping. Best of both worlds! Oh, and of course, sweet, juicy apples!

Ingredients:

6 medium apples, peeled and sliced

1 tbsp cornstarch

4 tbsps sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 cup oats

1/3 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cold butter or marg

1/4 tsp salt

1 - 10" pie shell

Roll out your pie dough and place in a 10" cast iron skillet or pie plate. I don't like making pastry so I go for the store bought. Next toss the apples with cornstarch, sugar and cinnamon. Then distribute evenly in the pie shell.

In a medium bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar and salt and cut in the butter with two knives or a pastry blender. Don't use your hands or you will lose the bits of butter that bind the crumble ingredients and give it it's crunchy sweet pieces.

Sprinkle the crumble on top of the apples and bake in a 400°F oven for 35 minutes.

Let cool before slicing.

Then serve plain or à la mode.
