Steps:
- Pastry: Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Add butter and pulse until butter is incorporated, leaving pieces no larger than the size of a lentil. Transfer mixture to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. With machine running on low speed, slowly add 3/4 cup buttermilk. Process until dough just comes together but does not form a ball, adding up to 1/4 cup more buttermilk if needed to bring dough together. Finish by hand, firmly pressing dough together to incorporate wet into dry. When there are still some dry crumbles, divide dough in half. Transfer each half to a piece of plastic wrap. Using the plastic wrap, form each into a disk and wrap well. Chill until firm. Divide each disk into 6 equal pieces. Working with one piece at a time, roll out on a lightly floured work surface into a 7-inch circle. Transfer to a baking sheet and place in freezer until well chilled. Repeat process with remaining dough.
- Filling: Toss apples to coat with lemon juice in a large bowl. Add granulated sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt; toss to combine. Gently stir in vanilla and heavy cream. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat, and add remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar and apple mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture thickens. Let cool and transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
- Streusel: Combine flour, sugar, and butter in a medium bowl. Mix until coarse crumbs form; add pecans and mix to incorporate. Transfer to refrigerator until chilled.
- Finishing: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Fit one dough round into a 5-inch metal pie tin to create a bottom crust. Fill with about 1/2 cup of the apple filling mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon streusel mixture. Gently brush edges of dough with egg white to moisten. Top with a second round. Gently press to adhere. Trim edges flush to end of pan and crimp, as desired. Brush top with egg white. In a small bowl, combine cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle over pie. Place on a rimmed baking sheet and transfer to refrigerator until chilled. Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
- Transfer pies to oven and bake until golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MILE-HIGH APPLE PIE WITH BROWN SUGAR STREUSEL
The name came about when I entered the pie in the Lorain County Fair as an assignment from my editor. The pie barely fit under the dome of my Tupperware® Pie Taker. When I removed the lid at the fair, a 12-year old girl sang out, " that's a mile-high apple pie!" The name stuck.

WALNUT STREUSEL APPLE PIE
This is adapted from a recipe I tried last Thanksgiving AND Christmas from the Food Network; I used a store-bought crust and tripled the streusel (my favorite part ;).... It is a very easy, no-fuss pie; very pretty with it's browned nut topping and you don't have to worry about crimping or venting or any other crust issues! My family really loved it and I hope yours does too.

Steps:
- 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 375°
- 2. FOR THE CRUST: BLEND flour and salt in medium mixing bowl. CUT chilled shortening into 1/2-inch cubes. Cut in chilled shortening cubes into flour mixture, using a pastry blender, in an up and down chopping motion, until mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some small pea-sized pieces remaining. SPRINKLE half the maximum recommended amount of ice cold water over the flour mixture. Using a fork, stir and draw flour from bottom of bowl to the top, distributing moisture evenly into flour. Press chunks down to bottom of bowl with fork. Add more water by the tablespoon, until dough is moist enough to hold together when pressed together. ROLL dough from center outward with steady pressure on a lightly floured work surface (or between two sheets of wax or parchment paper) into a circle 2-inches wider than pie plate for the bottom crust. Transfer dough to a pie plate coated with cooking spray by loosely rolling around rolling pin. Center the rolling pin over the pie plate, and then unroll, easing dough into pie plate. Trim edges of dough leaving a 3/4-inch overhang. Fold edge under. Flute dough as desired. Set aside in the refrigerator while making pie filling.
- 3. FOR THE PIE FILLING: combine flour, sugar, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Add lemon juice, apples and pears to the flour mixture. Toss gently to coat. Arrange pear-apple mixture in an even layer in prepared crust.
- 4. FOR THE STREUSEL TOPPING: combine flour and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Add cold butter and cut in with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle evenly over pear-apple mixture. Bake for 1 hour or until lightly brown. Topping will be crunchy. Let cool for an hour before serving.

APPLE PIE WITH OAT STREUSEL
The technique: Streusel-a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, sugar, and spices-often shows up on coffee cakes. The sweet, crunchy stuff also makes a great pie-topper. The payoff: You have to roll out only one pie crust instead of two, and the streusel adds texture and flavor.

APPLE PIE STREUSEL BARS
Okay, this is a recipe I found on Pinterest and then tracked it down to the original. It was alright, but needed some major spice kick. So, I adapted the original with just a few additions, pan change, and switched the apple variety. I personally like skipping the glaze, serving it HOT with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream!

Steps:
- *Tips: I soak my apples in a lemon juice and water mixture to keep them from turning brown as I slice them. Drain before adding the spices. You can substitute Egg Beaters for the egg whites.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9" pie plate with cooking spray (I use butter flavored) and set aside.
- To prepare the streusel, in a small bowl, mix the flour and brown sugar and cut the light butter into it until it forms small clumps. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine apple slices with cinnamon and nutmeg. Pour into the prepared pie plate and set aside.
- Whip the remaining ingredients together with a wire whisk and pour over the apples. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top of the pie.
- Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for five minutes. Cover and refrigerate any remaining pie.
APPLE PIE STUFFED SOFT PRETZELS WITH STREUSEL
This came from a request on our Request a Recipe board. My experiment incorporated KimmieOH's (recipe #45567) and Sharon123's (recipe #48766) recipes and I'd like to thank both of them. The recipe looks more complicated than it is. There are quite a few steps, but each one is simple and not as time consuming as it appears and most can be done ahead of time. If you prefer a sweeter pretzel you can try a different type of apple (I liked the tartness of the Granny Smith's). Also, I added the pecans as my personal preference, but they can be omitted. I think the results came out great. Hope you do, too.

Steps:
- To prepare dough:.
- Proof yeast and the 1 TBS sugar in the 1 cup of warm water and allow to rest for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Mix the flours with 1/2 teaspoons salt and 2 TBS oil in bowl and then add proofed yeast mixture.
- Stir to form a shaggy dough.
- Place onto lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes until a smooth, but slightly sticky dough is formed.
- Place into a greased bowl, covered with plastic wrap, and let sit until doubled (45-60 minutes).
- While waiting for the dough to rise prepare filling and streusel.
- To prepare filling:.
- Peel, core, and thinly (1/4" thick) slice the apples and then cut each slice into 8 pieces (I used my peeler/corer/slicer all in one contraption).
- Saute the apple pieces with 1/2 of the TBS of butter, the 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and the pinch of cloves until the apples are tender, but not mushy.
- Remove from heat and stir in the additional 1/2 TBS of butter.
- To prepare streusel:.
- Mix the flour, sugar, and cinnamon together.
- With fork cut in the 4 TBS of butter to a crumb consistency.
- Stir in the chopped pecans.
- When dough has risen, punch down, place on lightly floured board, and cut into 8 equal pieces.
- With hands, roll each piece into a 15" long cylinder.
- Flatten the cylinder down with a rolling pin to measure 3" wide by 17" long.
- Place 1 1/2 TBS of the filling mixture along the length of each piece and fold the long edge over to meet the other side.
- Pinch along the seam to thoroughly enclose the filling.
- Roll the dough with your hands to form an even cylinder and fully encapsulate the filling.
- Take the two ends of each filled cylinder and form into a circle that is overlapped by a couple of inches of dough on either side, twist the ends and lay over the opposite side to form a pretzel shape and press to seal.
- Play with the shape a bit to get the right form and then place each one on a parchment or Silpat lined cookie sheet.
- Repeat for all 8 pieces.
- Allow to rise on cookie sheet for 15 minutes.
- While they are rising, boil 2 cups of water and add 1/3 cup of baking soda.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Beat 1 egg white with 1 TBS water and lay it on a flat plate.
- Lay the streusel topping on a flat plate, too.
- When the pretzels have fully risen, drop one at a time into the boiling water and count to 10.
- Remove with a large slotted spatula/spoon to slightly drain and then drop onto the egg white, turn to coat, then drop into the streusel and turn to coat.
- Lay each completed pretzel back on the lined cookie sheet.
- Repeat this procedure until all pretzels are done.
- Place into the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes (check on them at 12 minutes).
- Immediately remove from cookie sheets and place on racks to cool.
- *Note:I haven't including the rising time in the"Time To Make" category, but there are two rises for this dough.
- The first is 45-60 minutes and the second is 15 minutes.
- The recipe is written to make use of the rising times for preparing the filling and streusel.
