Swedish Apple Pie

I don't really like apple pie. I'll eat it, but it isn't ever something I crave. That is until I found THIS recipe! I found it last year and have made it a dozen times since. I have made it two days in a row the past couple of days (it is that good AND EASY!!!). I typed it up to email to my sister-in-law so thought I would share it to anyone else who might want an awesome apple pie recipe. It is not really like a traditional apple pie. No crust on the bottom. I also leave out the raisins and walnuts (not a huge fan), but if you like those in pie then you might like them in this recipe. If you make it, let me know what you think!

Swedish Apple Pie
Ingredients

For the filling:
2/3 c. raisins
3 medium apples (about 2 2/3 cups), any baking variety, peeled and sliced
1 T. sugar
1 t. cinnamon
1/8 t. nutmeg

For the topping:
3/4 c. butter
1 c. flour
1 c. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 egg, beaten
1/4 c. chopped walnuts

Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)

1. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the raisins in a small bowl, cover them with hot water, and microwave them on high until they become plump, about 20 to 30 seconds. Drain the raisins, then combine them with the apple slices. Transfer the fruit to a 9-inch pie pan (it should be no more than two-thirds full).

2. In a small bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and sprinkle the mixture over the fruit.

3. To make the topping, first melt the butter and set it aside. In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and egg until they're evenly blended. Whisk in the butter, then spread the topping over the fruit and sprinkle on the nuts.

4. Bake the pie until golden brown, about 40 minutes. Serve it warm, with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if you like. Serves 10 (ha, ha, ha, I don't think so, more like serves 2-3).

Enjoy!
