Apple Raisin Cookie Crumble Pie
Apple Pie with a Cookie Crumble top.
The Fall weather really is the best time to enjoy Apples. There are so many varieties to choose from. Hopefully you can get out to a local Apple Orchard and pick up a basket of Apples or even pick your own. Local markets usually offer a variety of locally sourced Apples as well.
If you are lucky enough to have an Apple tree in your yard, this is a great recipe to utilize some of those Apples.
It is so comforting to bake a Pie in the oven when we have cooler Autumn temperatures. The wonderful aroma will fill your house and your family will be anxiously awaiting for dessert!

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees.
2. Prepare Pie shell, place in a 10″ Pie Pan, do not bake, set aside.
3. In a large bowl combine the Apples, Flour, Sugar, Raisins, Cinnamon, Nutmeg, and Cloves. Stir to coat all the Apples and Raisins.
4. Transfer the Apple Filling into the Pie shell.
