Happy October! Oh, how I love October. Fall, it's finally, finally starting to feel (and smell!) like Fall. The temperature has dropped about 15 degrees and the air is cool and crisp. Apple season is in full-swing and I'm pulling out all the stops! Yesterday, Henry & I made a Caramel Apple Pie. Yum!IMG_2993
He peeled and sliced all the apples himself (yay for child labor!) IMG_2999
A little sug sug, spices, you get the point. IMG_3000

Brown sugar and oat crumb topping (have you passed out yet?)

It's one of my all time favorite apple pie recipes. I'm not crazy about pie crust, so this is perfect because the crust is only on the bottom. It's good, folks. I've posted about it before, but had to do it again. Want the recipe? Here you go.

You're welcome.

****************************************************************

Apple Pie

  • 1 Pastry crust for a deep dish 9" pie (you can make  or purchase  ready-made)
  • 1/2 C Sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Apple Pie Spice OR Cinnamon (or allspice works great, too)
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 6-8 Cups Apples, sliced thinly

Crumb Topping:

  • 1 C Brown Sugar
  • 1/2 C rolled oats
  • 1/2 C Flour
  • 1/2 C Butter

Directions:

Stir together
brown sugar, flour & oats. Cut in butter with a pastry blender
until topping resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside. In a large bowl, mix
together sugar, flour, spice & salt. Add apples & toss to coat.
Put into pie shell. Add all of the crumb mixture on top of the apples
(until all the apples are covered with the mixture). You will need to
press it onto the apples to make it stay. You can cover the edges of
the pie with aluminum foil for the first 25 minutes to prevent burning,
but I usually avoid this step and the pie turns out fine. Bake at 375
for 50-55 minutes. Allow the pie to cool for 10-15 minutes &
drizzle the top with your favorite caramel. Enjoy!

    This is my absolute favorite apple pie. I too don’t like double crusted pies, so this crumb topping is perfect! I actually bought the ingredients a few days ago, now I just need to make it instead of salivating over yours! Thanks for the BEST apple pie recipe Morgs!!

    I have to make that pie now. It looks so good. If I had the apples I’d make it right now. Why can’t you be my neighbor anymore? We bough a couple of trains for Ruby and Mila began talking about Henry and how he loved trains.
