Double Apple Pie

Serves 6 to 8
Even your friends without food allergies will love this version of America's favorite dessert. Use baking apples that will hold their shape such as Yellow Delicious, Greening, Granny Smith, Jonathon, Gala, Fuji, etc, or a mixture of these. Don't use McIntosh (they disintegrate into sauce).

1 - 9 inch pie shell, unbaked (your own, or see recipe below)
Streusel Crumbs, recipe follows
5-6 cups sliced unsprayed apples
6-ounce can unsweetened apple juice concentrate, thawed
3 tablespoons quick cooking small granule tapioca (such as Minute Tapioca)
1 teaspoon cinnamon OR 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, or both (optional)
1-3 tablespoon honey (optional)

Prepare crust and set aside.
Prepare Streusel Crumbs, set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix juice concentrate, tapioca and a spice if you wish to include it. Mix and let stand for 15 minutes, while you peel and slice the apples into it. Taste the juice and add a little honey if you need it.
Pre-bake crust for 5 minutes.
Transfer the apple mixture to the crust. Bake for 15 minutes. Sprinkle the Streusel Crumbs over the pie, pressing lightly. Return to the oven for another 20 minutes, or until fruit is tender (but not mushy), the juice is bubbly, and the crumbs are nicely brown.
