My dad loves homemade apple pie, so I try to make him one each fall. I love to bake anyway, so this works out. So I made his pie a couple weeks ago, and I kind of goofed with the crust which led me to make a different version of apple pie, that I actually liked better. I know it isn't really all that healthy, but it combines two of my favorite fall treats and is still technically Apple Pie. You'll see as you read the recipe further down.
Peel and slice 8 Fuji Apples. Place in pan of water with 1 Tblsp. Lemon Juice and 3 Tblsp. All Spice. Boil for 10 minutes or until apples are soft, but not mushy.
Drain apples and set aside. Use one refrigerated pie crust that is quite soft, roll into a ball and then hand pat into pie plate and up sides almost to top of plate. Poke holes in crust with fork all around the crust. Cut 1/2 a stick of butter into little pieices and sprinkle on crust to spread out.
Pour apples into a bowl and add 1 cup honey and 2 Tblsp. all spice. Stir to mix and coat apples very well. Pour mixture into pie plate. Cut half of remaining butter into small peices and sprinkle over apples.
In bowl combine 1 cup uncooked oatmeal, 2 Tblsp. brown sugar, 2 Tblsp. flour. Mix with remaining soft butter and then crumble over the top.
Bake until topping is golden and crust is done.
The end result? A butter flaky crust with an apple crisp on top. It is delicios, truly now my favorite instead of just apple pie. You get the salty/sweet combination thanks to the buttery crust and yummy filling.
