More of a cheese-injected rodent in a backlands motel.
Make a French Apple Pie insteadThis uses a streusel topping in place of a 2nd crustIt's my absolute favorite kind! Try this recipe1 (9 inch) unbaked pie crust 3/4 cup sugar 1/4 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 teaspoon cinnamon 6 cups thinly sliced tart apples (about 6 medium) Topping 1 cup flour 1/2 cup firm margarine or butter 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar -Heat oven to 425°FIn a large bowl mix sugar, flour, nutmeg and cinnamonStir in apples and mix until apples are coated in sugar mixture and ingredients are all completely moistenedPour apple filling into prepared pie crustTopping: Mix flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and margarine until well mixed and crumblyPour onto pie fillingBake for 50 minutesCover topping with aluminum foil during the last 10-20 minutes of bakingThe topping should be browned and crisp and the bottom crust should be goldenEnjoy!
