Easy Apple Pie*

By srumbel

This easy apple pie is delicious but the best part is there is no pastry crust and it’s easy! This version of apple pie is similiar to a French Apple pie with a yummy crumb topping. But not only do you use the crumb topping on top – you also use it for the bottom crust. Yum! Oh and did I mentioned this crumb topping is FULL of butter and sugar – yum, yum!!

Ingredients

• 2 C flour
• 1 C sugar
• 1 egg yolk
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 C butter melted
• 7-8 apples - sliced cored and peeled. I prefer a crisp, tart apple.
• Cinnamon probably a tablespoon or two
• 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar or more if you like it sweeter

Preparation

Step 1

Mix together flour, sugar, egg yolk, baking powder
Add butter, melted
Press 1/2 of dough into a glass pie plate.
Being sure you have an even layer on bottom and up the sides of the pie plate. (no holes!)
-8 apples - sliced, cored and peeled. I prefer a crisp, tart apple.
After pressing 1/2 of pie dough into pie plate, pile apples onto crust.
Sprinkle with cinnamon (sorry, no exact measurement - I just sprinkle until it looks like enough, probably a Tablespoon or two) and 1 1/2 Tbsp sugar (or more if you like it sweeter!)
Crumble remaining dough on top by breaking it into small pieces.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes - 1 hour
(Time will vary depending on how thick you slice the apples, you want them tender but not mush! I just stick a fork in to see how tender they are.)
