Apple Crumble Pie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Pie Crust:

1. Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
2. With a pie cutter, cut in the shortening until the particles are pea sized.
3. Sprinkle in water, 1 tsp or so at a time, mixing lightly with a fork. Don’t over mix or the crust will be tough.
4. Press into a ball. It is okay if it is crumbly. In fact crumbly makes for a tender, flaky crust!
5. This recipe makes 2 – 9″ crusts, so split the ball in 2, and freeze one half for later.
6. Press the crust into a 9″ pie plate.

Apple Pie Mix:

1. In a separate bowl combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt.  Set aside.

Crumble Topping:

1. In another bowl combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and melted butter.

Putting it all together:

1. To the crust in the pie plate, add the apple mix, then top with crumble mixture.
2. Bake for about 1 hour, or until you see the apple mix bubbling up from under the crumble.
