French Apple Pie

It's apple season, and I just happened to find this super yummy recipe on a premade crust box! I tried it out- and it is fantastic! It isn't that hard to make, just takes a while to bake.

1 ready to bake pie crust
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. cornstarch
1/2 tea. nutmeg
1/4 tea. cinnamon
pinch of salt
6 c. cored, peeled and thinly sliced tart baking apples (about 4-5 med. sized- I used granny smith)

1 c. flour
1/2 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c. butter

Place the premade crust in a greased pie tin. Preheat oven to 350. Mix sugar, starch, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a small bowl. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples in with sugar/spice mix until coated. Spoon apple slices into pie plate

Then in the same bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Blend in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle crumb topping over pie.

Yes, you'll be licking your lips too in no time! I kind of pat the butter/sugar crumble down like a dome on top.

Then bake for 1 hr. 30 mins. About 45 mins. into it, I cover the top with tin foil to keep from burning the crust.

I just hope I can have enough restraint to leave some for when the husband comes home. (ha! I'll have the pan cleaned and in the washer by then!)
