Crunchy Crumb Apple Pie

This is a yummie alternative to an old favorite. The topping is sweet and the apples are a little tart. I posted this with a ready-to-bake pie crust, but i have found a homemade crust is always better! There are tons of apples in this pie but they cook down during baking. This is delicious topped with vanillia ice cream.

Steps

Have ready a 9-in.
Pie plate and a baking sheet.
Place oven rack in lowest position in oven.
Heat oven to 450.
Line pie plate with pie crust as package directs.
Flute or crimp edge.
Topping: mix flour , sugars and cinnamon in medium bowl.
Cut in butter until mixture forms moist , coarse crumbs that clump together easily.
Filling: peel , halve and core apples.
Cut in 1 / 8 inch-thick slices.
Place in a large bowl , add lemon juice and toss to coat.
Mix remaining ingredients in a small bowl , sprinkle over appl slices and toss to coat.
Layer apple slices in pie shell , mounding them higher in center.
Pat topping evenly over apples to form a top crust.
Place pie on the baking sheet to catch any drips.
Bake 15 minutes.
Reduce oven temp to 350 and bake 45 minutes longer or until a skewer meets some resistance when center of pie is pierced and topping is golden brown.
Cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
