ELLEN'S RUM CRISP APPLE PIE 
I like to use my own pastry when I make this pie, but you can use store-bought in a pinch!

1 pie crust (homemade or Pillsbury)

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line an 8-inch pie pan with pastry. Set aside.

FILLING:

1 (21 oz.) can apple pie filling
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tbsp. lemon juice

Mix apples with sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice and add to pan.

TOPPING:

1/2 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/3 cup butter
rum, for dribbling (Myers's)

Mix brown sugar with flour and nutmeg. Cut butter into it. Sprinkle over top of apples. Dribble with rum.

Bake at 425°F for 30 minutes or until brown and done.

ELLEN'S FLAMING PIE:

An exciting variation!

1 tsp. finely grated lemon rind
2 tbsp. sugar
1/4 cup warm rum (Myers's)

Mix lemon rind with sugar. Sprinkle over top of warm pie.

Dribble with warm rum and light.
