Cinnamon Apple Pie with Crumb Topping

Some of you may have been wondering where I have gone to... "Is she serving fast food every night all of a sudden?"  The answer is NO,  I have been making lots of new recipes.  I just have not had the time to post them.    So, here is the first one.... It was so good, that after one sitting, there was only one piece left.  (The remaining piece was polished off the following day)  
I would suggest spraying the pan with nonstick spray, or the crust will stick.  Enjoy!

Pie Crust (single) :

1  1/4 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons chilled butter
4 to 6 tablespoons ice water

• Whisk together flour, salt and sugar
• Rub in butter with fingertips.  Press mixture and break it up until it resembles very coarse sand
• Stir in water with a fork until it forms a ball
• Press ball into plastic wrap and chill 30 - 60 minutes before using
• Spray bottom and sides of pie plate with nonstick spray
• Take pieces of dough, and spread out onto bottom and sides of pie pan

Filling:

5 medium sized pie apples 

1/2 cup brown sugar

2 tablespoons flour

1  1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon allspice

1 teaspoon vanilla

• Mix apples, sugar, flour, spices and vanilla together 
• Let stand for 10 minutes
• Place over pie crust

Crumb Topping:

1  1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup brown sugar

1  1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2  cup butter, melted and cooled

• Heat oven to 425 bake.  Place a pan underneath middle rack to collect leaking butter
• Whisk together flour, sugar, spices and salt
• Pour melted butter over flour mixture and stir with a rubber spatula until moist crumbs form
• Sprinkle crumb topping over apples
• Bake 20 minutes at 425.  Lower temperature to 375, and bake for an additional 35+ minutes. (until apples are tender, and crust is browned)
• If topping becomes to dark, gently tent a sheet of aluminium foil over pie
• Remove from oven, and let cool before serving
