French Apple Pie

I have had this recipe in the box for years and just now decided to share. I don’t know why it took so long but give it a go. It is delicious.

• 6 cups Granny Smith apples, pared and sliced
• 1 1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 3/4 cup half and half cream
• 2 tbsp. softened butter
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup Bisquick mix
• streusel (recipe follows)
• Whipped cream

Heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease a 10 inch pie plate and set aside.

Mix the apples and all the spices and pour into pie plate.

Beat the remaining ingredients up to the streusel, until smooth. This could be 15 seconds in the blender or about 1 – 1/2 minutes by hand. Sprinkle the top with the streusel.

Bake until a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. This could take 60-70 minutes, Cool completely and serve with a dollop of whipped cream.

Streusel Topping

• 1 cup Bisquick mix
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 3 tbsp. butter.

Mix all together until crumbly. Continue on with the recipe to complete.
