Method
Step by step
- 01
Set the margarine out to soften a bit.
- 02
Peel the apples and slice into thin pieces
- 03
Toss with the “filling” ingredients (flour, sugar, cinnamon, half & half)
- 04
Place in prepared pie crust (I make a semi-homemade one like this one from Betty Crocker. )
- 05
Place “topping” ingredients (softened margarine, flour, sugar) in a bowl and knead with your (clean) hands until crumbly. (This is messy – your hands will be full of the topping but it’s worth the finished product!)
- 06
Crumble the topping over the apple pie. It doesn’t have to be perfect, just get it as evenly as possible.
- 07
Place pie in a brown paper grocery sack and close with a paper clip, staple, or tape.
- 08
Place sack directly on oven rack.
- 09
Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes then reduce oven temp to 350 and bake another 1 hour and 10 minutes.
- 10
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
