All American Apple Pie

INGREDIENTS

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons cold milk
• 1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 6 Fuji apples, cored and sliced
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup butter

• DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• To Make Crust: In a large bowl, mix together 1 1/2 cups flour, oil, milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar and salt until evenly blended. Pat mixture into a 9 inch pie pan, spreading the dough evenly over the bottom and up sides. Crimp edges of the dough around the perimeter.
• To Make Filling: Mix together 3/4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over apples and toss to coat. Spread evenly in unbaked pie shell.
• To Make Topping: Using a pastry cutter, mix together 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar and butter until evenly distributed and crumbly in texture. Sprinkle over apples.
• Put pie in the oven on a cookie sheet to catch the juices that may spill over. Bake 45 minutes.

Note: I cheated and used frozen pie crust. Next time I will use a little more cinnamon since I prefer a nice cinnamon taste.
