Grandpa Kline's Poppycock {Not Your Average Caramel Corn}

It's been a while since we have shared a "Friend Friday" with you, so today we bring back Katherine Bougie! (I realize it is Monday, but this recipe is so good, I had to share early!) So thankful she is willing to share her recipes with us- they are all delicious! In fact, you can see a couple of her recipes under the "Breads" on our "recipe index" page. She has a cinnamon swirl bread that is SIMPLE and out of this WORLD! But, the bread isn't what I'm here to talk about today.... it's her delicious apple crumble pie recipe!

If you are in the mood to begin your fall baking, this is the perfect recipe for you! This weekend Ronnie and I went apple picking with Katherine and her family.With my massive bag of imperfect, handpicked apples, I decided to make some homemade apple sauce, two of Katherine's pies, and will use the rest to use the rest make apple butter. Mmmmm! Apples for months!

The recipe on our blog today is one that Katherine has been working on for a while, adapting it to be exactly what she loves. This recipe is simple AND delicious! If you like apple pie, you will love it! If you like apple crisp, you will love it! If you like apples, you will love it! And if you like easy recipes, you will really love it! (the crust AND the topping are equally delicious!)

Thanks for sharing, Katherine! My family came over last night and devoured 3/4 of a pie, and the other fourth is waiting for Ronnie and me to get home tonight!

Apple Crumble Pie 

Crust:

Ingredients:

1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

1 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 tbsp water

Directions:

Combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Stir in oil and water. Mix until combined and form it into a ball.

Put the ball of dough in the middle of your pie dish. Push down on your ball of dough and spread it towards the sides and up. Crimp top if desired.

 

Filling:

Ingredients:
6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (6-8 medium)
3/4 cups sugar
3 tbsp flour
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice

Directions:
Mix filling ingredients and pour into pie shell.

 

 

Crumble Topping:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:
Assemble crumble topping by dicing butter into tiny cubes, and combining with brown sugar, flour, oats, and salt. Combine well (I use a pastry blender until fully incorporated) and sprinkle over apple mixture.

 

Bake at 350 degrees for 55 minutes.

(PS. Aren't Kat's pictures beautiful? When Andrew and Kat aren't clicking the camera, Andrew is printing crazy things at work, or making family videos like THIS! What a talented family!!)

Enjoy!!
