No Crust Apple Pie

• 6 cooking apples, peeled, cored, and cut into eights
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
• FOR THE CRUMBLE
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
• vanilla ice cream (optional)

1. Combine 6 or 7 large cooking apples with the sugar, water, cinnamon, ground allspice in a large saucepan; bring to a boil.
2. (I also add fresh grated nutmeg and a squeeze of lemon juice.)
3. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until apples are almost tender.
4. Spoon mixture into a deep-dish 9-inch pie-plate.
5. Combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and salt; cut in butter with a pastry blender or use finger tips until mixture resembles coarse meal.
6. (Next time I will use only 1/8 tsp of salt in the crumble.).
7. Crumble brown sugar mixture over apples.
8. Bake at 350u0b0F for 30 minutes or until top is browned.
9. Serve with ice cream, if desired.
10. Yield: one 9-inch pie.
