Leftovers. Don't Wanna Be Right

Apple Crisp Pie

Martha Stewart Butter Crust (makes 2 crusts, one to freeze for later)

2 1/2 C all-purpose flour
1 tsp coarse salt
1 tsp sugar
1 C (2 sticks) COLD, unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/4 to 1/2 C ice water

Place flour, salt, sugar, & butter in the bowl of a food processor for a few seconds until the mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. Add ice water in a slow, steady stream, pouring it through the feed tube just until the dough holds together. Do not process for more than 30 seconds.

Turn dough out onto a work surface. Divide into 2 equal pieces,  Wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour before rolling out. While crust chills, prepare the apple filling.

Apple Filling

5-6 large Granny Smith or tart apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
1/2 to 3/4 C sugar (depending on your sweet tooth)
Lemon juice (less or more depending on tartness of apples)
1 1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Nutmeg
Pinch ground cloves (optional, I'm not a fan)
2 T Flour
2 T unsalted butter

Crunchy Apple Crisp topping

3/4 C Quick-cooking Oatmeal
3/4 C Flour
3/4 C Brown Sugar
1 Tsp Cinnamon
Salt, to taste
1/2 C (1 stick) cold unsalted butter

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. 
2. Crust: Remove disk from the refrigerator. On a lightly floured surface, (between 2 sheets of wax paper, optional) roll out crust in a 1/8 inch circle to a diameter slightly larger than that of an 11-inch pie plate. Press one pastry circle into the pie plate, freeze the second disk.
3. Filling: In a large bowl, combine apples, sugar, lemon, spices and flour. Toss well. Spoon apples into pie pan. Dot with butter. 
4. Topping: Use a pastry cutter or food processor to cut butter into the combined sugar, oats and flour. Cover apple filling with the Apple Crisp topping (it is the yummy, crunchy top crust). 
5. Baking: The thickness of the apple slices determines the length of baking time. If using an apple peeler/corer, the apple slices will be thinner and the pie might need less baking time, 50 minutes, to insure the apples don't become overly mushy. Otherwise, if apple slices are thicker, bake for 60 minutes.

Cool and enjoy!!
