Indulge in the flavors of autumn with a gorgeous, rustic apple crumb pie. Now just sit back, watch the leaves fall and enjoy the scent of apple-cinnamon wafting through the air.

Ingredients

1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup shortening
1/4 cup cold water
FILLING:
5 large tart apples, peeled and thinly sliced
2/3 cup sugar
5 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1-1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
TOPPING:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cold butter

Directions

In a large bowl, combine flour and salt; cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Shape into a disk; wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
Preheat oven to 450°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge.
For filling, place apples in crust. Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples.
For topping, in a small bowl, combine flour and sugars; cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle over filling. Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 350°; bake until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 50-60 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

This apple pie with crumb topping is absolutely delicious! If you’re a beginner, use a store-bought pie crust to get a head start. You’ll still get a bushel of compliments. —Virginia Olson, West Des Moines, Iowa
