Notes

Topping - You will have about ⅓ cup of topping left from this recipe.
Apples - After you place all the apples in the pie crust you will notice a lot of juice in the bowl. This is water that was removed from the apples while sitting in the brown sugar mixture. Do not pour the extra sugar syrup on top of the pie. This will result in a soggy pie.
Raisins - If you like raisins you can add a quarter cup to the apple mixture before filling the pie.
Pie Crust - This recipe also works with a homemade pie crust. To save time, I always use a store bought.
