This pie got me married! I made this pie for my husband when we were first dating. A few years later he told me that as soon as he tasted that pie he knew he was going to marry me. Now that is what I call a GOOD PIE!! Hope you enjoy it!

PIE BOTTOM CRUST INGREDIENTS
PIE FILLING INGREDIENTS
CRUMB TOPPING INGREDIENTS
Step-By-Step
1Bottom pie crust directions. I am going to make this as complete as I can for everyone that has never made their own pie crust.
2Take flour and crisco and put it in a medium bowl.
3Use a fork or a pastry cutter to incorporate the crisco into the flour. Until it looks like little balls.
4Take a tablespoon of cold water and add it to the mixture. Gently working it in.
5Continue to add water a tablespoon at a time until you form a ball of dough. It should still be a tiny bit dry. You don't want it soaked.
6Wrap it in wax paper and put it in the fridge for about an hour.
7Filling Directions
8Take all the filling ingredients and put them in a bowl and mix. Let them sit for about 15 minutes till the apples and ingredients get nice and juicy.
9At this point you want to preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
10Roll out your bottom crust and place in a 9 inch pie pan.Just a little note if you have a marble rolling pin put it in the freezer for about a half hour before you roll out the dough. It makes it much easier to roll.
11Put the apple mixture into crust and get ready to make your topping.
12Topping directions
13Take flour and brown sugar and incorporate them together using a wire whisk.
14Take your stick of cold butter and slice it into the mixture.
15With a fork or pastry cutter cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles little balls.
16Flute the edges of your pie crust BEFORE you put the crumb topping on.
17Spread crumb topping over the apples until it is completely covered.
18Bake at 425 degrees for 50 minutes... Cover the pie with foil the last 15 minutes of baking so your crumbs don't burn.
19The pies juices should be bubbling up through the crust. That's how you know it's done. Enjoy!
