Nana's Apple Pie

Submitted by: Nana - June Shockley
This makes two pies, because one is just not enough for my husband and three boys! 
Start with:
2 unbaked pie crusts
4 different types of apples peeled and sliced = 16 apples total (4 granny smith, 4 golden delicious, 4 honey crisp, 4 MacIntosh)

Mix together: 
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon clove
1/4 cup flour

Pinch of salt

Taste test:  Dip raw apple slice  into mixture. It may need some more cinnamon. If it tastes ok then go ahead and mix with all the apples. Once mixed add 1/8-1/4 cup dark molasses to apple mixture and place filling  into unbaked pie crust.

Crumble Topping:
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 stick butter melted
Mix these topping ingredients together. Divide crumble top in half and place half over the top of each pie and push down to form a top layer over the pie.   After adding topping drizzle dark molasses on top in swirly pattern.
Bake pie in a 350 oven for about 50 to 60 minutes  or longer.  Sometimes I have cooked the pie as long as an hour and a half depending on the apples..  Apples should be fork tender and crust should be golden brown.
