STREUSEL:

1/3 c. sugar
1/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
Speck of salt
1/2 c. (1 stick) butter, cold
1/2 c. coarsely chopped English walnuts

PIE FILLING:

4 lg. apples (4 c.), McIntosh or Granny Smith
1 unbaked 10-inch pie shell
1 c. sugar
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 egg
1 c. heavy whipping cream
1 tsp. vanilla extract

In a food processor bowl, mix the first 6 streusel ingredients. Add the butter and process until the mixture is crumbly; it should still have a dry look to it; don't over process. Add the nuts, then set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples; there should be 4 cups. Place the apples in the pie shell.

In a small bowl, mix the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Beat the egg in a medium bowl, and add the cream and vanilla. Add the sugar mixture to the egg mixture and blend. Pour over the apples. Bake for 1 hour in the lower 1/3 of the oven.

After 20 minutes, sprinkle streusel over the top and continue baking approximately 40 minutes longer, or until the top puffs and is golden brown.
