Dreamy Apple Pie ~
~ adapted from Ree Drummond ~
Peel, core, and slice 3 Granny Smith apples. Place sliced apples in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine together– 1 cup heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup brown sugar (I packed it.), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon. Stir, then pour mixture over apple slices.
Transfer to a pie shell.
In the bowl of a food processor or by hand, combine 7 tablespoons unsoftened butter, 3/4 cups flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup chopped pecans (no need to chop nuts if processing).
Place crumb mixture over pie, all of it; there will be seemingly more than needed, but use all of it.
Place a baking sheet underneath pie to catch any spills during baking. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour; may need longer baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil towards end of baking time if necessary. Bake until juices are bubbly, apples tender.
