1 pastry crust (I pre-bake for flakier crust but this is optional)
5-6 (3 lb.) Mcintosh apples, sliced
1/2 c. sugar
Pinch salt
Dash cinnamon

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Mix 1/2 cup sugar, salt and cinnamon; pour over apples in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, 1/2 cup sugar and butter until crumbly. Turn the apples into the pastry crust; sprinkle topping over. Bake for 450 degrees for 10 minutes, then reduce temperature to 350 degrees until done, approximately 20 - 25 minutes.

TOPPING:

3/4 c. flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/3 c. softened butter
