APPLE CRUMB PIE

One-crust apple crumb pie

Ingredients

(Makes 1 pie)

750 g tart apples
30 g butter
150 g sugar
2.5 ml nutmeg
5 ml cinnamon
100 g brown sugar
25 g all-purpose flour
50 g butter, melted
60 g chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
1 pie crust

Procedure

Core, peel and slice the apples.
Melt the butter, and mix the rest in with it. Pour over apples and mix around so the apples are coated.
Put in an unbaked pie shell
Combine brown sugar, flour, melted butter, and nuts. Spread over top of the filling.
Bake at 190C for 50 minutes, or until it is bubbling.

Notes

The pie can also be frozen and then baked, right from the freezer, at 180C for 90 minutes. The pies will keep a very long time in the freezer, and not be worse for wear.

PS: For those who like the quality of home-made pie crusts but the convenience of ready-made, make a bunch of crusts someday when the mood grabs you, and put them in the freezer in a big plastic bag.

Rating

Difficulty: easy.
Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour baking.
Precision: approximate measurement OK.
