Grandma's Dutch Apple Pie

1 qt. peeled, sliced tart apples
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
Single pastry shell

Topping:
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup butter

Mix apples, sugar and spices. Blend flour, cinnamon for topping, brown sugar, and butter, mixing to coarse crumbs. (Mine always ends up like more of a paste for some reason but it still is DELICIOUS!!) Place apples in pastry shell and sprinkle with crumb mixture. Bake in preheated 425 degree oven for 45 minutes.

This is my FAVORITE pie!!! Even my brother-in-law that doesn't like apple pie loves this pie! It's the best!

How I got this recipe: In my jr. high home ec. class we made a cook book and this recipe was in it. My Mom made it and we were hooked!!! It's a favorite of my kids and Brian now, too. It is kind of caramely tasting.
