Recipe for Dakin's Perfect Apple Pie

This is an awesome recipe that was in our "Brighton Ward Relief Society Cookbook" from Dakin S. The pie is AWESOME!! The crust is amazing!! This is the best crust, it's so easy and so good. I also use the crust recipe to make my crust for quiche I just cut back on the sugar.

Preheat oven to 400.

Pie crust

1 1/2 C flour 1/2 C vegetable oil
1/2 t salt 2T milk
2T sugar

Mix together in a 9 inch pie dish using a fork. Stir dough till it forms a ball, press out the crust with your hands to form the pie dish.

Filling

10 tart apples
1 1/2 C sugar
2t cinnamon
1T flour

Slice apples less than 1/4 inch thick . Mix sliced apples with other ingredients in a large bowl, pour into uncooked pie crust, it's important to pack the apples in tight and stach them high because they will cook down.

Crumb Topping

1/2 C butter
1/2 C brown sugar
1C flour

Cut together with a pastry blender. Sprinkle over apples.

Bake at 400 for 20-30 min or until crumb topping is golden brown. Then turn down the heat to 350 and bake for 50-60 min. If your over cooks evtra hot you may need to turn your oven below 350 so your crumb topping dosen't burn.
