This apple pie is formed on a baking sheet, free style. Barb says this is a favorite - it hasn't failed her yet!

Cook Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients:

  • Crumb Topping:
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup margarine
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts, optional
  • .
  • Filling:
  • 1/2 C. sugar
  • 1 T. cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 4 C. sliced and peeled apples (Granny Smith are always good)
  • 1 T. lemon juice

  • 1 refrigerated prepared pie crust for 9" pie (or your own!)

Preparation:

Prepare this crumb topping and set aside: In small bowl combine 1/2 C. flour and 1/3 C. packed brown sugar. With pastry blender, cut in 1/3 C. margarine just until coarse crumbs form. If desired, add 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts at the end.

In large bowl combine sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Add apples and lemon juice; toss to coat. Unfold crust; place on foil lined (or greased) cookie sheet. Spoon apples into center of crust, leaving 2" edge. Sprinkle crumb topping over apples. Fold up edge of crust, pinching at 2" intervals. Bake in 400 degree oven 15 mins. Reduce temperature to 350 degrees and bake 35 mins. longer or until apples are tender.
Free style apple pie makes 6 servings.
