Crunch Top Apple Pie (Paula Deen)
By: Sharlene~W
Mar 23, 2005
Saw Paula Deen make this on Food TV and I was sold. The addition of applesauce to the pie filling makes it a perfect apple pie. I may never try another apple pie recipe! MMMmmm.
SERVES 8 , 1 9-inch pie
Ingredients
-
1 (9 inch) pastry for double-crust pie (homemade, frozen or refrigerated)
Filling
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 dash salt
- 3 1/2 cups peeled chopped cooking apples (golden delicious is my favorite, but also try Rome and Granny Smith)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 (16 ounce) jar applesauce
- 2 tablespoons butter, chopped into small pieces
Crunch Topping
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 dash salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, at room temperature
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 425°F.2
Line a 9-inch pie pan with half of the dough.3
Toss apples with 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl.4
Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Pour over apples and toss. Stir in applesauce. Spoon this mixture into pie pan and dot with butter.5
Cut remaining crust into strips; using every other one arrange over top of pie. Lattice in remaining strips (going the other direction, crossing over and under every other strip).6
For crunch topping, combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of crust.7
Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue to bake for about 45 minutes, or until crust and topping are golden brown. (My pie with golden delicious apples was done after 30 minutes at this step, so watch your pie!).8
Note: It helps to make a foil ring to put around pie crust edge to keep it from browning too fast.

SOooooooo good 
This recipe has made me famous amongst friends, coworkers, AND in-laws! Ding ding ding! The filling is a bit too liquidy, so I am not quite as liberal with the apple sauce and I always use an extra apple or two. Also-- frozen pie pastry?! NEVER!! Make a pastry with half lard and half butter, and the entire pie will taste THAT much better.

Very good pie. The only changes I made were that I used apple pie spice ( one and a half tsps) and I also added a little of that to the crumb topping. Baker beware The filling when this is baking is very liquidy and loose. Bake this on a foil lined pan ( or else you will have a very sticky messy oven). I thought for sure this would never set up, when I took it out of the oven it literally was splashing all over. As it cooled it because nice and firm and you could never tell how loose it was.

Wonderful way to start the apple season! This was so deluctable and the applesauce made for a great filling. I used more apples (atleast 5 cups) so I added another tbl. of flour (perfect). My pie did take the full baking time, too. The crunch topping is a divine touch. Thanks Sharlene! Roxygirl

What can I say other than Yummmmmm. I made this apple pie and it was gone in about 3 days becuase my family couldn't stop eating it. I pretty much made the recipe as it is stated, but instead of 3 1/2 cups of apples, I just piled them into the dish until they were practically spilling over the sides just because I had tons of apples from my tree in the yard I wanted to use up. You have to try this recipe.
