Dessert Anyone?


Decided to share an amazing APPLE PIE recipe to any who are lucky enough to stumble upon it. Probably the best crumb top apple pie I have ever eaten! No exaggeration! It's a more liquid version, but gooey and delicious! :)

Ingredients for filling:
1 tsp. salt
2 c. white sugar
6 tbsp. flour (all purpose- or if using self rising, do not add the salt)
2 egg yolks
2 c. water
2 tsp. vanilla

Directions:
Cook on stove until very thick. Continuously stir at lower heat so that egg yolks do not solidify.

Ingredients for crust:
Rolled pie crust
3 baking apples (I'd recommend Gala Apples), sliced as thinly as desired

Directions:
Purchase a Pillsbury (or generic brand) rolled pie crust (usually in the aisle with the crescent rolls & cinnamon rolls). Unroll into pie plate and fill with apples. You can also sprinkle some lemon juice onto the apples to keep them from turning brown as quickly or avoid cutting them until the filling mixture is ready to be poured.

Pour the filling over the apples, covering the entire pie plate.

Ingredients for crumb mix:
2 c. flour
1/2 c. shortening (part butter)
1/2 c. light brown sugar
1/2 tsp. salt (do not have to use salt if using self-rising flour)

Mix together with mixer until it looks like a crumb topping. Use hands to sprinkle the topping over the entire pie. It usually makes enough to top two pies.

BAKE at 375 degrees until crust is brown on edges... usually about 25-30+ minutes depending upon the oven.


ENJOY! :)


Ps. Vanilla Icecream is a nice touch to this dessert! Mmmm!
