Ingredients

1/2 15 ounce package rolled refrigerated unbaked pie crust (1 crust)
2 teaspoons butter, melted
2 cups peeled, cored, and thinly sliced Granny Smith apples (about 3/4 pound)
2 cups peeled, cored, and thinly sliced Jonagold or Jonathan apples (about 3/4 pound)
2 cups peeled, cored, and thinly sliced Braeburn, McIntosh or Northern Spy apples (about 3/4 pound)
2/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 to 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
Walnut Crumb Topping (recipe follows)
Vanilla Ice Cream

Directions

1. Let pie crust stand according to package directions. Unroll pie crust; place into a 9-inch pie plate. Tuck pie crust under and flute edges. Do not prick pie crust. Brush the pie crust bottom and sides with the melted butter; set aside.

2. For filling:In a large bowl, combine the apples. In a small bowl, stir together sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Sprinkle sugar mixture over the fruit. Toss to combine. Let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer apple filling to pastry-lined pie plate. Mound the Walnut Crumb Topping over filling.

3. To prevent overbrowning, cover edge of pie with foil. Place the pie on the center rack of a 375 degree F. oven. Place a large baking sheet covered with foil on a rack under the pie. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes more or until apples are tender, filling is bubbly and topping is golden. (If necessary, loosely cover top of pie with foil the last 30 to 40 minutes.) Cool on a wire rack. Serve pie slightly warm with ice cream. Makes 8 servings.
