Dutch Apple Topping

In small bowl mix together

~Place crumble mixture evenly

over top of pie.

~I like to drizzle a very fine swirly

pattern of molasses on top for show.

Place pie plate on jelly roll pan to

prevent drips in the oven.

Bake at 350 for about 1 ¼  hours

Test apples with sharp fork to see

If  tender.  If not try baking about

10 minutes more.  If crust is getting

too dark cover crust with aluminum

foil.

This pie freezes well.
