~from apple trees and skinned-up knees...

to autumn skies and apple pies~     ~C

Can you taste the setting of a sweet, summer sun? Can you taste the crisp mornings, the giddy rains, and the cool, starry nights of September? It's all there...in every delicious bite...

      

 Apple Pie

~My very favorite~

(from the Callie King Cockman Family Cookbook)

1 9-inch pie crust, unbaked

Filling:
1/2 cup sugar
3 Tbsp. flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
6 cups apples, peeled and sliced

Mix the sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt and apples together. Place in the pie shell.

Topping:
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup quick rolled oats
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping

Mix until crumbly the brown sugar, flour, oats and butter. Spread on apples. Cover crust with foil ring. Bake 30-40 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove foil and bake another 30 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle pecans over pie. Drizzle pie with caramel.

This is an old recipe, given by my aunt Joan Cockman, who borrowed it from her sister, Gaty Murphy.

Enjoy!!
