Apple Crumb Pie

This is the best apple pie recipe I have ever made! I doubled the crumb topping though and added a little more cinnamon to the pie. It was great and people are still talking about how good this pie was!

Apple Crumb Pie
" Sliced apples, raisins and walnuts are sugared, dusted with cinnamon and nutmeg, and piled into a pastry shell. A sweet crumbly topping is sprinkled over the top. The whole pie is then loosely covered with aluminum foil, and baked until golden and brown.

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
