The name caught my eye as my puppie is GiGi but the ease and simplicity of the recipe sold it. I wanted a strusel topped pie with not a lot of fuss and i have to say this is it. I added a little fresh grated nutmeg with the cinnamon but aside from that, followed to a T and it was fabulous !

The topping on this pie is easy to make and delicious! The only problem I had with it was that some of the topping would sink between the apples leaving a floury mess in some parts. I think I may be able to solve this however if I used thinner slices of apples that don't leave so many nooks crannies in the pie. My family also enjoyed it. Thanks Krsi Sue!

I make this pie quite often. I sometimes mix ground ginger with the brown sugar and flour. I also top with crust once in awhile. I melt red hots, cinnamom candies and add to the applies.
