Apple Pie!

The apple tree has only been producing for a month, and already I've made 3 apple pies. Here's what I did:

Apple Pie with Walnut Crumb Topping

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Crust:
1 1/3 C flour
1 tsp salt
1/3 C sunflower oil and 3 Tbs. milk mixed together.

Mix the flour and salt.  Pour in the oil and milk.  Stir.  Roll out the crust and line a pie pan.  Pinch the edges to make a rim, and flute if desired.

Filling for a 9" pie:
6 C sliced apples
3/4 C sugar
1/4 C flour
1 t cinnamon

Mix the ingredients together, and pour into the pie crust.  Put this in the oven and set the timer for 45 minutes. While the pie is baking, mix the topping ingredients until crumbly:

1/4 C butter
1/2 C flour
1/2 C brown sugar
1/2 C walnuts

Take the pie from the oven, sprinkle on the topping, and put the pie back in the oven.  Bake until the filling is bubbly and the topping is brown.

This makes less topping than most recipes, but I always like the apples to be the star of the show.
