Dutch Apple Pie

This is definitely another crying recipe as I so (fighting) easily give it away. My Dutch Apple Pie is a famous one. Guaranteed, this pie will be wiped out in seconds. The best way to eat this pie is when it is still warm, and with family. This one is a must during the holidays, but if you are going to a family gathering, make sure you take more than one.
The oatmeal crust sets off this pie, creating an amazing flavor combination. Have you ever had apple/cinnamon oatmeal? Isn't that just the most amazing flavors in your mouth? When I eat apple/cinnamon oatmeal, I never want the flavor sensation to end.....MMMMMM!!! The sensation caused from this pie is the same way. "Oh please, don't let this end...."
I have topped this pie with whipped cream, but it can easily stand alone.
Dutch Apple Pie
2 c. all purpose flour
1 c. packed light brown sugar
3/4 c. butter melted
1/2 c. quick cooking oats

Filling:
1 1/4 c. water
2/3 c. sugar
3 TBS cornstarch
1 1/4 c. diced peeled tart apples (3 large granny smith)
1 tsp. vanilla extract (don't be afraid to let this run over the tsp.)

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Combine the first four ingredients; set aside 1 c. for topping. Press crumb mixture into an ungreased 9-inch pie plate; set aside. For the filling, combine sugar, cornstarch, and water in a saucepan until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute, or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in chopped apples and vanilla. Pour into crust; top with reserved crumb mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 40-45 minutes. The top should be nice and brown.

Good luck, happy eating, and enjoy...
