Almost Apple Pie

While this recipe is good any time it is the first one requested when the fall apples ripen.It was passed to me by a family member.The recipe calls for an 8x8 deep baking pan.Family member uses a corning ware casserole dish for the baking which makes for a lovely dessert.I often bake it in a pie plate and when cool slice and serve as you would pie.Using white sugar in the crumb crust has it so tasting like pastry.Quick and easy to make.NOTE - recently found this recipe from an old family cookbook is called aunties 'Old Fashioned Crumb Cake' and calls for baking in a 425 oven for 40 to 50 minutes or until brown and crisp.Just made it and found baked at the higher temperature it very like an apple crisp - an absolutely delicious version of Almost Apple Pie and another great apple dessert to serve family and friends.Ovens vary - I used a slightly lower oven temp.
