American as Apple Pie

McCormick and Schmick's Deep Dish Apple Pie:

Crust:

2 cups flour
4 T sugar
1/2 tsp. sugar
10 T butter, cold and cut into small cubes
3-4 T water
1 egg yolk

Filling:

16 cups sliced apples
1 T fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 T cinnamon
6 T flour
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup water

Streusel Topping:

1 cup flour
1 cup dark brown sugar
6 T butter or margarine

Preheat oven to 300. Prepare crust by combining flour, sugar and salt, and working in the butter until mixture resembles coarse cornmeal. Add water and egg yolk and combine just enough to form a roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour. Prepare filling by combining sliced apples with remaining ingredients and blend thoroughly. Make sure all apples are well-coated. Roll the pie dough to 18 inches in diameter for the deep dish tin. Line tin with the dough and flute the edge. Add apple mixture until it is mounded at least 2 inches in the center above the shell. Combine streusel ingredients. Sprinkle over entire service of apples. Bake at 300 for 2 1/2 hours or until well-browned. Allow to cool 1-2 hours. Gently press apples down into the pie until they are just about level with the crust. Refrigerate overnight to allow the pie time to set.
