Got this recipe out of my Amish cookbook, it's a wonderful apple pie. But then the Amish do know how to cook, and this pie recipe certainly proves it.

How to make it
- In a food processor bowl, mix the first 6 streusel ingredients. Add the butter and process until the mixture is crumbly; it should still have a dry look to it --- don't overprocess. Add the nuts, then set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350*F.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples; there should be 4 cups. Place the apples in the pie shell.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar, flour, and cinnamon.
- Beat the egg in a medium bowl, and add the cream and vanilla.
- Add the sugar mixture to the egg mixture and blend.
- Pour over the apples. Bake for 1 hour in the lower one-third of th oven. After 20 minutes, sprinkle streusel over the top and continue baking approximately 40 minutes longer, or until the top puffs and is golden brown.
