This orginal recipe came from my grandmother's cookbook, a 1941 New American Cookbook. I have tweaked the recipe just a bit, but still it retains the old-fashioned goodness. I just made this recipe over Thanksgiving for company and it was a complete success! I've never really tasted another apple pie quite like this one, mmmm...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place apple slices in a large bowl.
- 2. Mix flour, sugar, spices, and lemon juice together and sprinkle over apple slices. Using a spatula or large spoon, mix together. (I just use my hands).
- 3. Pour apple mixture into pie crust and dot with butter. Sprinkle crumb topping over apples (directions to follow).
- 4. Place pie plate onto a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until topping is browned and apples are cooked and bubbly. Best serveed warm with ice cream.
- 5. TOPPING: In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, cinnamon and sugars together with a fork. Knead in butter until mixture is crumbly and the consistancy of wet sand. If too wet, you may add in a little more flour (about a tablespoon at a time) until consistancy is right. If mixture is too dry, you can add a little more butter.
- 6. This topping recipe was actually told to me by my mother and grandmother. I was never given precise measurements, so I tweaked it the best I could and this is what I came up with. This topping tastes wonderful and works well for apple crisp, sweet potato casserole, or most any dessert that requires this type of topping.
