Just Because

One of my family's favorite Autumn desserts is my homemade French Apple Pie. Last weekend we went to Retzner's Apple Festival and did our traditional stocking up of various apples, which are not available at the supermarket.
Saturday evening... yummy! French Apple Pie, hot out of the oven served with frozen vanilla custard. mmmm m. So good, in fact, I though I should be a good neighbor and share the recipe with you.

French Apple Pie

• 6 C. apple (peeled, pared, sliced) I like to use at least 2 different types of apples
• 1/2 to 2/3 C. Sugar
• 2 t. cinnamon
• 2 T. flour

Mix the above together in a large bowl and place in your pastry lined pie pan.top with the following in the form of crumbs:

• 1/2 C. butter
• 1/2 C. brown sugar
• 1 C. flour
• 1 or 2 t. cinnamon

Bake 15 min. in a 450 degree oven. Drop temp to 350 and bake 20-30 min. longer. If top or crust browns too quickly, cover with foil. Serve warm with frozen vanilla custard for most favorable results. Enjoy!
