Judy's Apple Pie

We still have a refrigerator drawer full of apples.

This is the apple pie recipe I grew up with.  Judy is a family friend, but I don't remember her ever making it.  I do remember having it at Aunt Pat and Uncle Fred's house.  Aunt Pat and Uncle Fred are not "real" relatives, I just grew up calling them that.  They were in the same circle of friends, so maybe it did come from Judy.  Anyway, it is my favorite apple pie.

Crust:
The original recipe calls for an oil crust.  I like it.  The farmer doesn't.  If you want the original, here it is:

1 1/2 c flour

2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 c oil 

2 tbl milk

Combine with fork and pat into 9" pie pan.

Here is what I am using instead:

1 c flour

6 T butter

big pinch sugar

little pinch salt

1/4 c milk

Mix until it sticks together.  Refrigerate for at least 30 min and roll out on a floured board.

Topping:

1/2 c. oatmeal

1/3 c flour

1/3 c brown sugar

1/3 c white sugar

1/2 t cinnamon

1/2 t nutmeg

1/2 stick softened butter

Mix together until chunky.

The best part:

4 or 5 apples peeled and sliced

1/2 c sour cream

2/3 c sugar

1/4 c flour

1/2 t cardamon (We have not added this in years because it smells like old shoes).

1/2 t cinnamon 

Mix and dump into your crust, sprinkle with topping.  Bake at 375 for 40-45 min.

Enjoy!
