How do you like them Apples?

My inspiration to make my sweet treat this week came to me days ago! I have had a craving for a delicious apple pie for the past 2 weeks! So I finally made one! And it definitely cured my craving..this pie went so fast I wish I had made two! haha! But seriously! I will definitely make this little goodie again very soon! I decided to actually make a apple crumble pie, I was curious of how the crumbles would taste versus having an upper crust! Now, I don't know about y'all but I love CRUST!!! If you have an amazing pastry recipe use it for every pie you make! I like to think the CRUST makes the pie! And a little whip cream or vanilla ice cream to go on top as well! Also, when baking this pie I used some good ol' Granny Smith green apples. In my opinion green apples are best for cobblers and pies and red apples are good for baking stewed rather there cut or whole! I just like my apples to be a little sour than sweet in a pie cause the amount of sugar and other ingredients added just give it enough of a sweet taste!  But in this recipe its whatever you prefer! This recipe was a big hit and a huge success! I hope you'll try this and let me know how you like them apples?! haha! Enjoy!

Apple Crumble Pie

Ingredients:
5-6 apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
3/4 cup of white sugar
2 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of cornstarch
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of  ground nutmeg

Topping:
1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1/4 cup of butter

*Make a pastry of your choice or use a store bought pie shell!

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl toss peeled sliced apples with lemon juice.  Mix together white sugar, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, ground nutmeg and cinnamon.  Sprinkle over apples and toss to coat. Spread apple mixture evenly into unbaked pie shell. Use your hands or pastry cutter (using your hands is more fun) and mix together all topping ingredients. Sprinkle all over apple mixture. Bake for 1 hour until golden brown!
