This was the very first pie I ever made. I didn't even like apple pie until I tried my own. I've taken a recipe and perfected it to my own. It's simple and easy and scrumdiddlyumptious!! It's a winner with everybody who tries it. The warmth from the apples and the sugary crunch from the topping and added with some vanilla ice cream and you've got heaven in your mouth!!
Will have pictures very soon!!

- 4Sprinkle 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1 tsp. apple pie spice over apples and toss to evenly coat (may want more spice depending on your own taste).
Set aside. - 5In a medium sized mixing bowl, add flour, the remaining sugars and pie spice (again you may want to add more spice if needed).
- 6Cut in butter. Use a pastry cutter to mix crumb mixture until pea sized balls form.
- 7Dump apples into pie crust.
- 8Completely cover apples with crumb mixture.
- 9Bake 375 degree for 50mins.

***you may want to cover your crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning***
