Apple Crumble Pie

After our awesome day apple picking at Jonamac Orchard in Malta, Illinois, we had LOTS of apples to use for today's marathon baking day.

The term 'marathon' is a little misleading, because the two pies we made took less than 45 mintues total with two of is working on the pies.

This recipe is for the Apple Crumble Pie (see tomorrow's post for the Snickers Caramel Apple Pie recipe!)

3 cups peeled, cored, sliced apples (we used Early Fujis for their sweetness)

3/4 c flour

3/4 c sugar

1/2 t cinnamon

1/8 t nutmeg

Toss all of the above together and pour into a prepared pie crust (we used a frozen Sara Lee pie crust).

Topping:

1/2 c flour

1/2 c brown sugar (packed)

1/2 stick salted butter (sliced, do not melt/soften)

Combine the above 3 ingredients with a for to creat a crumble.

Pour over the top of the pie. The butter will melt as the pie baked.

Cover loosely with aluminum foil. Bake at 375 for 25 minutes, remove the foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 10-20 minutes before serving.

Of course, serve with really good vanilla ice cream.

Easy Guide: How to Address Envelopes for Wedding Invitations

So often I receive questions about how to address envelopes to guests with various professions and relationships. Here is a little quick reference guide I've put together for future use. To a Married Couple Mr. and Mrs. Albert Hampton A married couple with the same last name should be traditionally listed as Mr. and Mrs. followed by the male's first and last name. It is not incorrect to also list a married couple as "Mr. Albert and Mrs. Samantha Hampton". To a Married Couple That Use Different Last Names Mr. Ryan Paxton and Mrs. Marion Parker When space permits, list both members of the couple on the same line. Each should be recognized with their own salutation and last name. To an Unmarried Couple Living Together Mr. Hunter Allen and Ms. Anna Peterson List the male's name first and both names should be listed on the same line. To a Same-Sex Couple Ms. Salina Redding and Ms. Georgia Browning You can include either member of the couple'...
