Margo, I love this recipe for Amish Apple Pie. I usually substitute canned milk for the heavy cream and it still turns out wonderful.

Amish Apple Pie

Streusel:
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon grated nutmeg
speck of salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cold
1/2 cup coarsely chopped English walnuts
4 large apples, McIntosh, Granny Smith or Spies (4 cups)
1 unbaked 10" pie shell
1 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

In a food processor bowl, mix the first 6 streusel ingredients. Add the butter and process until the mixture is crumbly; it should still have a dry look to it --- don't over process. Add the nuts, then set aside.
Preheat oven to 350*F.

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples; there should be 4 cups. Place the apples in the pie shell. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, flour, and cinnamon.

Beat the egg in a medium bowl, and add the cream and vanilla. Add the sugar mixture to the egg mixture and blend.

Pour over the apples. Bake for 1 hour in the lower one-third of the oven. After 20 minutes, sprinkle streusel over the top and continue baking approximately 40 minutes longer, or until the top puffs and is golden.
