Mrs. Harris' Quick Apple Pie recipe is a deep dish pie with no base crust but a crusty top. Mrs. Harris was known more for sewing than her cooking, but she performed extremely well in both arenas.
In a pie plate or pan sprinkle 5 cups sliced apples with 1/2 cup of sugar and a small amount of spice (she didn't say which spice, but with apples I would say cinnamon, nutmeg or allspice) and 3/4 cup of water.
Top with a crust of 3/4 cup of flour, 3/4 cup of sugar and 2/3 stick of butter all of which has been mashed together until it has a consistency of corn meal.
Bake in a slow oven (around 325 degrees) until crust is golden brown.
This recipe is right up my alley as I don't enjoy pie crust but love the crust topping. Quick and easy!
