Here is my sister Allison's favorite pie recipe. Seems simple enough. I am planning to make a couple of them this week.
Ingredients:
1 ready to bake pie crust
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
6 cups cored, peeled and thinly sliced tart baking apples (approx. 4-5 med. sized apples)
1 cup flour (King Arthur's White Whole Wheat is actually the best.)
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 cup butter or margarine, room temperature
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350* F.
- Mix sugar, starch, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl.
- Stir in sliced apples.
- Dump apple mixture into prepared crust.
- To prepare the crumb topping, mix together flour and brown sugar. Blend in the butter or margarine until crumbly.
- Sprinkle crumb topping over pie.
- Bake pie on a sheet pan for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Any leftover apple filling makes amazing applesauce too. Just add 1/4 water and bring to a boil in the stove. Simmer until apples soften. Yum.
Made this twice this Thanksgiving. It was amazing. Thanks, Al!
