Crumble Apple Pie

Another recipe that came from all the apple pickin'. I have a few tricks that make the pie quick and easy to make.

CRUMBLE APPLE PIE

Crust:

Ingredients

• 1  cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup shortening
• 4 - 5 tablespoons ice cold water
• Directions

  1. Stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry cutter, cut in shortening until pieces are pea-size.

  2. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the water over part of the mixture; gently toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Repeat moistening dough, using 1 tablespoon of the water at a time, until all the dough is moistened. Form dough into a ball.

  3. On a lightly floured surface, use your hands to slightly flatten dough. Roll dough from center to edges into a circle, transfer the dough to the pie pan and press it with your fingers to the lip of the pan.

  
  

  Apples:

  1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  2 TBS flour

  1/2 cup sugar

  2 TBS vanilla

  
  

  I always skip peeling the apples, it takes forever and I think it tastes just as good with the peel on.

  So thinly slice enough apples to fill the pie pan. Add the other ingredients, stir until apples are coated and put into the crust.

  
  

  Crumb:

  3/4 cup Oats (I use the Wheat MT ones)

  1/4 cup flour

  1/2 cup brown sugar

  2 TBS butter, cut into small pieces

  
  

  Mix this all together and top the the apples.  Bake for about 45 minutes until brown and bubbly.
