Directions: |
Directions:Melt butter in a sauce pan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add white sugar, brown sugar and water; bring to a boil. Reduce temperature, and simmer 5 minutes.
In a large bowl mix sliced apples with nutmeg, ginger, cinnnamon, and vanilla extract.
Place the bottom crust in your pan. Fill with your apples, mounded slightly. Pour sauce over apples.
Cover pie with second pie crust if not using crumble. Make edges pretty or you can do a lattice crust.
Bake for 30 mins at 400°F
If using crumble topping:
Add flour, sugar, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in the container of a food processor; pulse several times to mix.
Scatter the butter over the top; pulse repeatedly until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Empty the crumbs into a large bowl and rub them together between your fingers until you have large, buttery crumbs.
Remove pie from oven and lower temperature to 375°.
Carefully pour the crumble mixture in the center of the pie, spreading them over the surface evenly. Bake for another 30-40 mins you may have to cover with aluminum foil the final 15 mins to prevent your topping from burning. So keep a close eye on your pie. |
