Apple Crumb Pie

5 - 7 tart apples (5 cups, sliced)
1 9-inch unbaked pastry shell
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons butter

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Pare apples; core and cut in eighths. Arrange in unbaked pastry shell. Mix 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over apples.
3. Mix 1/3 cup sugar with the flour; cut in butter til crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
4. Bake at 400 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes or till done. If pie browns too quickly, cover edge with foil.
5. Cool. Pass whipped cream.

Recipe from Better Homes & Gardens New Cook Book circa 1968. :)

Notes:
- This is SO easy!
- I used one of the store-bought pie crusts found in the refrigerator section. This apple pie is nice b/c you only need one crust.
- A tip I read somewhere and used on this project was to use a melon-baller to cut out the "guts" of the apple halves. Worked like a charm!
