• 1/2 c. Butter (at room temperature)

1. CRUST:
2. Make one pie crust and shape it into the pan.
3. FILLING:
4. Peel, core and slice apples into some lemon water to keep them from turning brown.

6. Drain the apple slices and blot them dry with some paper towels and place them in a large, dry bowl.
7. Sprinkle the apple slices with the lemon juice, and now add the dry ingredients and toss to coat the apple slices and pour them into the crust.
8. TOPPING:
