Directions: |
Directions:Toss thinly sliced apples in cinnamon and sugar and place in a pie shell filling the shell to the edge and forming a mound in the middle. Beat eggs in medium bowl and add melted margarine, flour, salt and vanilla. Pour over apples.
Using fingers (not mixer) mix topping ingredients until crumbly and lightly cover top of pie, again mounding topping in centre. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes or until custard appears set. |

Personal
Notes: Be careful to just come to the inside edge of pie with the custard. It puffs up when baking and has a tendency to overflow over the shell.
I like my pies full and ‘high’ so I typically double the topping ingredients.
I’ve been known to add another apple if needed.
Place pie shell on a cookie sheet (helps prevent a mess in the event the custard does overflow).
This is an old family favorite - I've been making this recipe and sharing it with family and friends for about 30 years.
