Ingredients
- 7 Golden Delicious apples
- 1 stick (4 ounces) butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1-9’’ deep pie dish
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel and slice the apples into 1/4’’ slices. Cover the bottom of the pie plate with the apple slices. Sprinkle with the raisins.
- In a mixing bowl on medium-low speed, cream together the butter and sugar until combined well. Add the egg and then the flour and mix well. Remove from the bowl onto a surface that is sprinkled with flour. Work flour into the dough as you flatten the crust. Lightly pat the crust into a flat piece that is about 1Ž4-1/2 inch thick. Cut the crust into pieces about 2 inches by 2 inches. Lay over the apples; to create a “patch work” effect.
- Brush crust with 1 tablespoon cream.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon topping over the crust and bake for 30-35 minutes until crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
Topping:
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
Mix all ingredients together.
