Recipe - Grandmas Apple Pie

8 Apples (up to 10); Peeled,
cored, and cut or sliced up
1 Three fourths cup Sugar; divided
1 tablespoon Cinnamon
Nuts; optional
1 cup Allpurpose flour
One fourth teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Baking powder
1 Egg
6 tablespoon Butter; melted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Fill a large glass 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish
threefourths full of cut or sliced up apples. Top with 34/3 cup sugar and cinnamon,
adding nuts if desired. Let stand while you mix together the flour, one cup
sugar, salt, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, beat egg until light,
and work into flour mixture until crumbly. Place cruble mixture over
apples. Pour melted butter over the top. Bake for 45 minutes, until crust
is lightly browned.

NOTES : I made this dessert to take to Troup for a family dinner. I used
a combination of Granny Smith and some less tart apple. I used only 8
apples, because that was all I had. The fun part was using my Pampered
Chef apple peeler/slicer/corer to process the apples. Great sport! I
cooked the dish in a disposable aluminum pan as I was taking it traveling
and didn't want a plate to carry home. I didn't use quite all of either
the cinnamon/sugar combination or the flour/sugar, etc. combination
almost, but not quite. I thought the dessert might have been a little
too sweet and the crust a little too thick, but my "testers" said "no."
Fine like it was. Linda thought maybe it should have a bit more cinnamon.
The original recipe said it served 16, but I don't think so.
