Pastry for 9-inch 2-crust pie
6 or 7 tart apples
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Crumble Topping (below)

Heat oven to 450 degrees. Prepare pastry as directed except roll 1 inch larger than 12 or 13 inch pizza pan. Ease into pizza pan; flute edge. Pare apples; cut into slices about 1/2 inch thick (about 8 cups). Beginning at edge of crust and overlapping slices, cover crust with apples.

Stir together sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; sprinkle over apple slices. Top with Crumble Topping. Bake 30 to 40 minutes or until edge is golden brown and apples are tender. Best served warm and, if desired, topped with cinnamon ice cream. 8-10 servings.

CRUMBLE TOPPING:

Mix 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup firm butter until crumbly. (I turn oven down to 350 or 375 degrees after 15 minutes and cook pie a bit more slowly.)
