Truth be told, a low pressure weather front moved through our area earlier this week and brought storms and a nasty two-day-long migraine for me. Which results in a whole lot of lying around moaning and feeling sorry for myself and not very many creative ideas to do with the kids.<\/p>\n<p>But yesterday I did muster up enough energy to bake this tasty apple pie from the last of our apple bounty! And, depending on your kid, this might be a fun enough activity to do with your little guy or girl. So, here goes!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Apple Pie with Crumble Topping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Ingredients<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>pie crust (I cheated and used prepared, but if you have the time and energy, <a href=\"http:\/\/projectlittlesmith.blogspot.com\/2012\/05\/strawberry-rhubarb-pie.html\" target=\"_blank\">this one<\/a> looks absolutely amazing, don&#8217;t you think?)<\/li>\n<li>5 medium-sized tart apples, like Granny Smith (peeled, cored, and sliced thinly)<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup white sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp nutmeg<\/li>\n<li>1 tsp cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp flour<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbsp lemon juice<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbsp corn starch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>For the topping<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 Tbsp brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup butter (1 stick)<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 to 1\/2 cup flour<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup rolled oats<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp chopped pecans<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 tsp cinnamon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm9.static.flickr.com\/8321\/8028137202_6af04f0522_b.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_0017\" \/><\/div>\n<p>In a medium saucepan, toss the apples with lemon juice, sugar, spices, corn starch, and flour. Cook on low for 10 &#8211; 15 minutes, until apples are tender.\u00a0<em>Side note: while we were cooking the filling, the smell wafted out the open\u00a0<\/em><em>back door and&#8230; surprise!
