Dutch Apple Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 pre-made refrigerated Pillsbury pie crust
• 6 apples – peeled, cored and sliced (I used 3 Golden Delicious and 3 Granny Smith)
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2/3 cup white sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons butter
Topping:
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup butter

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425°. Fit pastry shell into pie pan and place in freezer.
2. Make filling by placing sliced apples in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine 2 tablespoons flour, white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well, then add to apples. Toss until apples are evenly coated.
3. Remove pie shell from freezer. Place apple mixture in pie shell and dot with 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil lightly on top of filling, but do not seal.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes.
5. While filling is baking, make the streusel topping. In a medium bowl combine 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, brown sugar, and oats. Mix thoroughly, then cut in 1/2 cup butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly. Remove filling from oven and sprinkle streusel on top.
6. Reduce heat to 375°. Bake an additional 45 to 50 minutes, until streusel is browned and apples are tender. Toward the end of baking, cover loosely with foil to prevent excess browning.
