Ingredients

5 whole apples, peeled and sliced I prefer the apple variety of Norther Spy, if you cannot find them Granny Smith or Macintosh are great as well, you may have to add a few more apples if using another variety.
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg freshly ground nutmeg is preferred!
1 9" pie crust, unbaked

crumble top

1/3 cup cold butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup flour

Instructions

preheat oven to 350° degree

Roll out pie crust, put rolled out crust in your pie pan, crimp edges.
Core, peel and slice apples. toss apples with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and dash of nutmeg. Set aside.
Crumble Topping: combine butter, brown sugar, and flour until mixture is a crumbly consistency. I use my food processor but a fork works just as well.
Place apples in prepared pie crust. Pour crumble topping over apples, make sure it gets in all the nooks and crannies of the apples.
Bake pie in 350 degree oven for 60-70 minutes. Let pie set for 30 minutes before cutting.

Notes

This pie freezes really well. Make sure to cover with plastic wrap. When ready to bake, remove from freezer and allow to thaw for one hour before placing in preheated oven, you may need to add another 30 minutes to bake time. If pie looks to be getting too brown place a piece of aluminum foil over for the last 30 minutes of baking.
