Apple Crunch Pie

**A friend of mine gave me this recipe and it is one of the best apple pies I've ever had!**

Filling:

• 6 tart apples such as Granny Smith
• ½c lemon juice
• ½ c sugar
• 3 T all purpose flour
• ½ t cinnamon
• ¼ t nutmeg

Peel and core apples. Slice into quarter and then slice quarters into very thin slices. Throw into bowl with lemon juice. Use your hand and and toss slices so they all get lemon juice on them. Next, drain all left over lemon juice. Sprinkle with other ingredients and then dump apples into a ready pie crust (pie crust recipe not included.)

Topping:

• 1 c flour
• ½ c white sugar
• ½ c brown sugar
• 1 t cinnamon
  
• 1 stick chilled butter, cut into slices

Blend all dry ingredients. Toss in slice butter and chop into dry stuff until it is crumbly looking and you do not have chunks of butter. Sprinkle on pie top.

Bake at 450 for 15 minutes and then without opening oven door, turn oven down to 350. Finish baking for 45 minutes more. The pie is done when the apple juice is thick and bubbly.
