I have been making apple pies for a long time but I had never found a recipe that I really liked. Depending on the kind of apples, there was always a soggy layer, no matter how much flour or cornstarch I added to the mixture. Well, I have found a great recipe! It's not soggy and it has the crunchy topping that everyone loves...try it! It's from the Pillsbury website: www.pillsbury.com
Brown Butter Creamy Apple Pie
Filling
1/4 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
5 cups sliced peeled Granny Smith apples (5 medium)
Crust
1 Pillsbury® Pet-Ritz® frozen deep dish pie crust
Streusel
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup firm butter
Topping (I recommend making a double batch of the topping...)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
DIRECTIONS
1. Heat oven to 400°F. Place cookie sheet in oven to heat. In 1-quart saucepan, cook 1/4 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until melted and lightly browned. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
2. In large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the egg with wire whisk until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Beat in cooled butter. Gently stir in apples. Pour into crust-lined pan.
3. In medium bowl, stir together all streusel ingredients except butter. With pastry blender or fork, cut in 1/4 cup butter until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over apples. Place pie on cookie sheet in oven.
4. Bake 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F and cover edge of crust with strips of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake 40 to 50 minutes longer or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cool 2 hours.
5. In small bowl, beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add remaining topping ingredients; beat until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon onto pie.

Lovely curtains, Joan. I've been looking for new curtains for the bedroom. Found the drape part at an outlet but no luck with the valance. You've inspired me to buy another curtain and make the valance to match!
