Name: Apple Pie with Oat Streusel
Cook time: 1 hour
Total time: 3 hours 40 minutes (includes baking and cooling time)
Yield: Makes 8 servings
Ingredients: 3 pounds Pippin apples or Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, cut into scant 1/4-inch-thick slices; 1/2 cup sugar; 2 tablespoons (packed) golden brown sugar; 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted; 2 tablespoons all purpose flour; 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice; Generous pinch of salt; 1 Pie Crust dough disk; 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats; 3/4 cup unbleached all purpose flour; 1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar; 1/4 cup sugar; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/2 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice; 7 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes; 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats

The technique: Streusel—a crumbly mixture of flour, butter, sugar, and spices—often shows up on coffee cakes. The sweet, crunchy stuff also makes a great pie-topper.
The payoff: You have to roll out only one pie crust instead of two, and the streusel adds texture and flavor.
