Recipe for "apple-pie-1"

NAME

     APPLE-PIE-1 - One-crust apple crumb pie

INGREDIENTS (Makes 1 pie)

     750 g     tart apples
     30 g      butter
     150 g     sugar
     2.5 ml    nutmeg
     5 ml      cinnamon
     100 g     brown sugar
     25 g      all-purpose flour
     50 g      butter, melted
     60 g      chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, etc.)
     1         pie crust

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Core, peel and slice the apples.
          (2)  Melt the butter, and mix  the  rest  in  with  it.
               Pour  over apples and mix around so the apples are
               coated.
          (3)  Put in an unbaked pie shell
          (4)  Combine brown sugar,  flour,  melted  butter,  and
               nuts.  Spread over top of the filling.
          (5)  Bake at 190 deg. C for 50 minutes, or until it  is
               bubbling.

NOTES

     The pie can also be frozen and then baked,  right  from  the
     freezer, at 180 deg. C for 90 minutes.  The pies will keep a
     very long time in the freezer, and not be worse for wear.
     PS: For those who like the quality of home-made  pie  crusts
     but  the  convenience  of ready-made, make a bunch of crusts
     someday when the mood grabs you, and put them in the freezer
     in a big plastic bag.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour bak-
     ing.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
