By aobrien1

No one will know what the secret ingredient is until you tell them: pudding mix!

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
• 3 -4 cups granny smith apples ( 1/4-inch slices)
• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) packages coconut cream pudding mix or 1 (3 1/2 ounce) packages French vanilla pudding mix
• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Preparation

Step 1

In mixing bowl, combine apples and pie/pudding (DRY) mix; toss to coat well.

Place in unbaked pie crust.

In small bowl, mix all topping ingredients until crumbly.

Sprinkle over apples and bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes until topping is golden brown and pie is bubbly.

Try different pudding mixes and fruits--peaches are a good choice--for different flavors.
