1/3  cup packed brown sugar
1/2  teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 1/2  tablespoons chilled butter, cut into small pieces

2  tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4  teaspoon salt

To prepare crust, roll dough into a 14-inch circle; fit into a 9-inch deepdish pie plate coated with cookig spray. Fold edges under; flute. Place pie plate in refrigerator until ready to use.

To prepare streusel, lightly spoon 1/3 cup flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 1/3 cup flour, brown sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a medium bowl; cut in butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until the mixture resembles coarse meal. Place streusel in refrigerator.

To prepare the filling, heat a large nonstrick skillet coated with cookig spray over medium heat. Add sliced apple, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; cook 10 minutes or until the apple is tender, sitrring mixture occasionally. Spoon the apple mixture into prepared crust.

  7. I love apple pie. I remember when I was little I always wanted a piece of cheese melted on it, instead of having it with ice cream. I've never seen anyone around here do that so I'm wondering if that is a Texas thing.
    Take care, Chrissie
