Hallelujah Apple Pie We recently had an apple pie contest at VeryVera and I entered a true made from scratch Apple Pie. I literally made the recipe up as I went along. So, for the first time ever in print here is my original pie recipe for you to enjoy during Harvest Month.

Crust

1 1/2 cup oatmeal
1 cup coconut
1/2 cup toasted almonds, crushed

3/4 stick of margarine, melted
1/4 cup brown sugar

Mix the above in a bowl and then press into pie plate covering the bottom and sides. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes.

Filling

5 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 Tbs. lemon juice
1/4 cup Amaretto
1 1/2 Tbs. cornstarch

1/2 tsp. Apple Pie Spice
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butterscotch morsels
1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Combine first 6 ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Then, layer the apples in a circle formation in the baked pie shell and fill to the top. As you go, sprinkle with butterscotch morsels. Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes then sprinkle the top with the cheese.

Topping

1 Granny Smith apple, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup thin pancake batter
1/2 cup flour

Peanut Oil
Cinnamon Sugar

Toss apples in a bowl with the flour to dust. Transfer to the batter and coat well. Fry in hot oil in a deep pot until golden brown. Drain on paper towels and then dust with cinnamon sugar. Put the finished pie under the broiler just before serving for about 3 minutes are just until the cheese as barely melted then garnish the top of the pie with the fritters in circular pattern until all the apples are used.
