Apple pie!!

Tis the season for apple pie!  Something about fall and the abundance of apples make it the perfect time to whip up some apple pie!

Want to hear my quick and easy recipe?

Here we go!

First get (or make!) a pie crust (just the bottom)

A bunch of apples (like 10 per pie--or more if you have/need) -- I like to mix different varieties for great flavor!

Peel the apples and slice into thinnish slices (1/4" thick or so).

Put these slices into a large bowl and sprinkle on 1 tsp of lemon juice.  Add 2 Tbsp flour,1 Tbsp of cinnamon, and   1/2 c of sugar and mix up so that the slices are kind of coated.

Put the apple slices into the pie crust.

Mix up 1 cup flour, 1/2 c brown sugar, and 1/2 c butter (cut in) -- cut these in until it resembles coarse crumbs.  Put this crumbly stuff on top of the apples.

Pop into the oven and bake at 375 for about 1 hour until when you stick a knife into it, there is no crunchy feel.

Cool a little and eat!!  Oh, and listen to this great song "Apple Pie" by our favorite Roy Hurd! :)

Put the slices in the piecrust

Mix together the topping ingredients (butter, brown sugar, and flour)
I don't always use the food processor for this--you can do it with a bowl and 2 knives or whatever!

Put the topping on and place in oven (you may need to put a drip pan underneath)

 
Bake for about an hour and then check with knife to make sure the apples are all softened
Let it cool for awhile (honestly I think it tastes better mostly cool--plus it gives
it time to thicken up a little)


Eat and enjoy!! :)
