Pie Recipe #21 - Apple Crumble Pie

This is an all-American apple pie but rather than sporting a pastry shell top, a sweet crumbly layer covers the juicy pile of apples inside. Ingredients: 1 (9 inch) deep dish pie crust, 5 cups apples (I used granny smith)- peeled, cored and thinly sliced, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 6 tablespoons butter. Instructions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a pie plate with pastry. Arrange apple slices in unbaked pie shell. Mix the 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon in small bowl; sprinkle over apples. In another bowl, mix the 1/3 cup sugar with the flour; cut in butter until crumbly. Spoon mixture over apples. I sprinkled a little more cinnamon over the top. Bake in preheated 400 degree oven for 35-40 minutes, or until apples are soft and top is lightly browned. (cover edges with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning, if desired).
