Amish Apple Pie

Ingredients:
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup plus 2 tbls flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp grated nutmeg
pinch alt

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, cold
1/2 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

4 large apples, McIntosh or Granny Smith (4 cups)
1 unbaked 10 inch pie shell
1 cup granulated sugar
3 tbls flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg
1 cup heavy (whipping) cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:
In a food processor bowl, mix the first 6 streusel ingredients.
Add the butter and process until the mixture is crumbly; it should
still have a dry look to it -- don't over process. Add the nuts
then set aside.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel, core and thinly slice apples;
there should be 4 cups. Place apples in the pie shell. In a small
bowl, mix the sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Beat the egg in a medium
bowl, and add the cream and vanilla. Add the sugar mixture to the
egg mixture and blend. Pour over the apples. Bake for 1 hour in
the lower one-third of the oven.

After 20 minutes, sprinkle streusel over the top and continue baking
approximately 40 minutes longer, or until the top puffs and is
golden brown.
