Divine! Loved it!

I used apples my mom & I had canned last year to make this pie.

And dumped it all into a large red tupperware bowl she's had for ages!

And then realized we didn't have any brown sugar. So... I made my own!

This is what it looked like when I was done.

And then dumped that in with the apples.

And gave it a good stir.

Then I dumped the apple mix into my pretty pie shell.

Then I got started on the crumb topping.

 

My mom, what a great sport, is cutting in the butter with two knives so I can snap a picture.

Then we traded and she snapped a picture of me mixing the butter in better with my hands.

Once it was mixed well, I sprinkled it over top of the pies.

Then baked them.
