  I was going to make one pie with a top crust... Instead I ended up with 2 pies, sooooo I used two frozen pie crusts from my freezer. Added the streusel topping to both pies. Any streusel topping recipe will do or your own recipe

  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Half way baked put a aluminum collar around the pie crust edges..so's they don't burn.
