Easy Deep Dish Apple Pie

Ingredients:
2-3 pounds apples - I prefer Granny Smith or Johnathan variety, but any will work fine
1/2 - 3/4 cup white sugar - use less if a sweet apple is used
1/2 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

Topping:*
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oatmeal
1/8 tsp salt
3/4 tsp cinnamon

Grease or spray a deep baking dish. Peel, core, and slice the apples using an Apple Peeler Slicer Corer if available. If not, just use a knife. You can also cut the apples into wedges if preferred. Place the apples in the baking dish. Fill leaving about a half inch for the topping.
In a bowl mix together white sugar, water, vanilla, and 1 tsp cinnamon. Pour over the apples.
For the topping, In a separate bowl cream the butter and brown sugar. Mix in the flour, oatmeal, salt and cinnamon until it forms a crumbly consistency. Place over the apples.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes or until the topping begins to brown.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Enjoy!

*A double batch of the topping can be used and will make this deep dish apple pie even more rich and delicious.
