Directions

• Preheat oven to 425° F. Fit pastry shell into pie pan and place in freezer.
• To Make Apple Filling
• Place apples in a large bowl. In a separate bowl combine 2 tablespoons flour, white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well, then add to apples. Toss until apples are evenly coated.
• Remove pie shell from freezer. Place apple mixture in pie shell and dot with 2 tablespoons butter or margarine. Lay a sheet of aluminum foil lightly on top of filling, but do not seal.
• Bake in 425° F oven for 10 minutes.
• While filling is baking, make Streusel Topping
• In a medium bowl combine 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, brown sugar, oats, and lemon peel. Mix thoroughly, then cut in 1/2 cup butter or margarine until mixture is crumbly. Remove pie from oven and sprinkle streusel on top.
• Reduce heat to 375° F. Bake an additional 45 minutes, until streusel is browned and apples are tender. Cover loosely with aluminum foil to prevent excess browning.
