Walnut Streusel Apple Pie
"This is adapted from a recipe I tried last Thanksgiving AND Christmas from the Food Network; I used a store-bought crust and tripled the streusel (my favorite part ;).... It is a very easy, no-fuss pie; very pretty with it's browned nut topping and you don't have to worry about crimping or venting or any other crust issues! My family really loved it and I hope yours does too."
