I'm grateful this week is over! Isn't that a terrible thing to say?!It's so true. Last week sucked. I fully intend that this week will be better.
I'm making sure of this by baking a delicious dessert for this evening. It's the second time I've made it and if it is as good as last time, then we are in for a treat!
Brown Butter Creamy Apple Pie
Prep Time: 30 min ; Start to Finish: 3 hr 40 min
Makes: 8 servings Nutrition Information
A crumbly brown sugar streusel tops a classic apple pie made easy in a frozen pie crust.
Filling
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (5 medium)
Crust
1 Pillsbury® Pet-Ritz® frozen deep dish pie crust
Streusel
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup firm butter
Topping
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 . Heat oven to 400°F. Place cookie sheet in oven to heat. In 1-quart saucepan, cook 1/4 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and lightly browned. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
2 . In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the egg with wire whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in cooled butter. Gently stir in apples. Pour into crust-lined pan.
3 . In medium bowl, stir together all streusel ingredients except butter. With pastry blender or fork, cut in 1/4 cup butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over apples. Place pie on cookie sheet in oven.
4 . Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cool 2 hours.
5 . In small bowl, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining topping ingredients; beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon onto pie.
I make my own pie crust, only because I like my pie crust. Tonight I'm not making the whipped cream, only because I forgot to buy cream. So we'll have vanilla ice cream with it. Yumm! I highly recommend.
I'm glad that there is a pie baking in my oven, it gave me something special to be thankful for!
Have a great week!

I almost gave you a hard time about using a premade crust.... then I read on. LOL!!! I LOVE baking pies!!! I am glad you are topping your Sunday meal with a yummy treat.
Hope this week is better for all of us. It will be.... right?
It had better be!
It wasn't my most "joyful" week either. I was glad to start fresh too.
That looks like a really awesome pie recipe! That would cheer me up.
Will lift you up in prayer for the coming week.
Blessings,

Oh, that looks heavenly. I love apple pie. But I always used Macs, even though they don't hold their shape, because I love the flavour. (Do you guys get McIntosh apples down there, or is that a Canadian thing?)
Have I complimented your bottom banner yet? Love.
Wow that does sound good and I am jealous of the lovely smell wafting about your house.
It is perfectly ok to say you are grateful for a week to be over...I can relate.
Just mail that to my house and I'll eat the whole thing myself. I've had a vile, irritating week to and NOW IT'S A FRESH CLEAN WEEK! And A FRESH CLEAN MONTH! We are both gonna be so HAPPY NOW!
This pie looks good - even if it is a fruit pie! :-)
Mmm - sounds delicious!
It is perfectly fine to be grateful that a bad week is finally over! I posted that I was glad a week was over just a couple weeks ago! :)
That pie looks so, so, so yummy! I have to save this recipe and try making it one day soon!
Hope this week is better!
