DUTCH APPLE PIE

Crust & Topping:

2 cups flour

½ cup oatmeal (I use quick-cooking oats)

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 stick plus 4 tablespoons real butter, melted

For the filling:

2/3 cup sugar

3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 ¼ cups water

3 cups of apples, sliced and peeled (I use Granny Smith)

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla

Combine the first 5 ingredients, mixing well.  Set aside 1 cup (this will be for the topping).  Press the rest of the mixture into a 9-inch pie plate.  For the filling, place the water and cornstarch into a small saucepan and stir until the cornstarch has dissolved.  Add the sugar and place the saucepan on the stove and bring to a boil.  Cook for 1 to 2 minutes or just until mixture begins to thicken.  Remove from heat and stir in the apples, cinnamon and vanilla.  Pour this mixture into the crust and top it with the 1 cup of the reserved crust/topping mixture.  Bake at 350 for 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown.  Let it cool for about 20 minutes before serving.  Add a dollop of vanilla ice cream before serving, if desired J  Enjoy!
