Fall For Apple Pie
(NAPSA) - This flavorful harvest pie combines tangy apples and golden raisins with a delicious crunchy topping. Best yet, it's easy to make. The frozen pie crust is ready to bake in its own disposable pan, making this an ideal dessert to bring to fall get-togethers or casual weeknight meals.
Ingredients:
- 1 Pillsbury Pet-Ritz frozen deep dish pie crust
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

- 1/3 cup golden raisins
Topping
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
Heat oven to 400 F. Place cookie sheet on oven rack.
In large bowl, stir together granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir in apples and raisins; toss to coat. Spoon into frozen pie crust.
In medium bowl, mix topping ingredients except walnuts with pastry blender or fork until crumbly; stir in walnuts. Sprinkle over filling.
