PINE MOUNTAIN, GA
Updated on Sep 14, 2011

A wonderful apple pie just in time for fall! The key to both a flaky piecrust and crisp streusel topping is to keep them as cold as possible before putting them into the oven. I stumbled across this recipe several years ago when I was doing my favorite thing; searching for recipes! And, it has proved worthy! Borrowed photo. Recipe tried and true.
