Yummy Crunchy Caramel Apple Pie

By ghudsontx

My Grandmother gave me this recipe after she made it for me during a visit about 5 years ago. I like to use Granny Smith apples, leave the peel on, and cut slices that are a little thick, but do whatever you wish! This is a very good pie and I'm always asked to make it! Thanks, Grandma!! (Very good served with vanilla ice cream!)

4 Add apple slices and gently toss until they are coated well.

5 Transfer mixture to pie.

6 FOR CRUMB TOPPING: Stir together brown sugar, flour, and oats.

7 Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until topping resembles coarse crumbs.

8 Sprinkle over apple mixture in pie.

12 Remove from oven.
