Apple Crumb Top Pie

You will need.

* 1 pie crust

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Pie filling:

* 6 large apples (I like a mixture of Honey Crisp and Granny Smith)
* 1 Tb. lime juice
* ½ cup granulated sugar or fructose
* 2 Tb. flour
* I teaspoon cinnamon
* ½ teaspoon nutmeg

Crumb Topping:

* ½ cup flour
* 1/3 cup brown sugar
* 1/3 cup sugar or fructose
* 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
* ½ cup chopped pecans
* ¼ cup sunflower seeds
* ½ stick cold butter - chopped

Combine filling ingredients, pour into pie crust, combine crumb topping, pour over filling and pat down. Bake at 450degrees for 15 minutes. Use lowest rack in your oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and bake for about 50 minutes or until done. Cool and serve.

Do you use a deep dish pie plate or a regular plate?

regular is fine - and I use lemon juice in place of lime juice
