Marie Humble's French Apple Pie
Crust: (for 9" pie)
1 1/2 c flour
1 1/2 t sugar
1 t salt
2 T cold milk
1/2 c oil
Mix the above with your hands and it will quickly form a dough. Pat it
into your pie pan, just trying to make it generally even.
Filling:
several granny smith apples, with each quarter sliced into 4. (The
number of apples depends on the size. I just keep going until I think
I have enough, then usually pour them into the pie dish just to be
sure. You want a nice, high mound because it will cook down.)
1 c sugar
3 T flour
2 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
squeeze of lemon juice
pinch of salt
Mix the above until the apples are thoroughly coated, then pour into
your crust.
Streusel Topping:
Combine 1/2 c flour, 1/2 sugar, 1/2 c COLD butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle evenly over apples.
Place inside a brown paper grocery bag, then fold the opening of the
bag closed. Place in 350 degree oven for about 1 hr 45 min. Beginning
checking at 1 hr 30 min; if the streusel is golden and the pie is
bubbling it's done.
Serve with whipped cream or ice cream. Enjoy!
