Ingredients:

• Crust:
• 1/2 cup cold stick butter
• 1 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons white granulated sugar
• 3 Tablespoons very cold water
• 2 whisked egg yolks
• Filling:
• 5 medium size apples
• 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup white granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons of all-purpose flour
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ginger
• Crumble topping:
• 1/2 cup toasted pecans
• 2 Tablespoons of stick butter melted in a skillet
• 1/2 cup halved pecans
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 5 Tablespoons cold stick butter

Method

Crust: Mix the dry ingredients. Add one of the whisked egg yolks and butter. Add water and hand knead into a ball. Once the dough is thoroughly mixed wrap in plastic wrap and put it into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Roll out 1/8 inch thick and place into a pie tin. Form the edge as desired and brush the entire crust surface with egg wash (beaten egg with a little water). Place in the oven for 10-15 minutes or until brown. Remove and fill with the filling. Filling: Mix together and place in the prebaked crust. Topping: Blend all dry ingredients. Cut in the butter and work with a spatula until a course granular mixture is achieved. (Note: if the butter is softened first or a power mixer is used you will end up with paste and need to start over.) Quickly dump in the toasted pecan halves. Do not over mix or you will get the aforementioned paste. Crumble this mixture over the apple filling. Bake for 35 minutes.

Notes: A delicious version of the apple pie. Use seasonal apples for best results.
