Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 2/3 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. uncooked regular oats
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/3 c. chopped pecans
  • 3/4 c. butter, melted
  • 4 c. tart, thinly sliced apples (like Granny Smith; about 3 apples)
  • 1/3 c. white sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp. cornstarch
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 c. water
  • 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Instruction

  • reheat oven to 350.
  • Combine flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, chopped pecans, and melted butter in a medium bowl. Pack 1 cup of the mixture into a measuring cup and set it aside; gently press remaining mixture into a 9″ pie plate. Be sure not to pack it in there too tightly or it will be too hard and messy to slice the pie when it’s baked.
  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, water, and vanilla and bring to a boil. While mixture is heating, place apples in the pie crust. After sugar/water mixture has come to a boil, pour the hot mixture over the apples. Sprinkle reserved crumb topping over apples and then place the pie plate on a baking sheet.Bake for 43-45 minutes. During the last 15 minutes or so, you may need to cover the pie with a sheet of aluminum foil to keep the pie from getting too brown.
  • Serve warm (if you can) with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.
