AMISH VANILLA CRUMB PIE

 I love Amish cooking so when I saw this on Mr. Food's site I knew I had to put it on my blog.

1 (15-ounce) refrigerated pie crust 
1/2 cup light brown sugar 
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 
1/4 cup corn syrup 
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract 
1 egg, beaten 
1 cup water

CRUMB TOPPING:
 1 cup all-purpose flour 
1/2 cup light brown sugar 
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar 
1/2 teaspoon baking soda 
1/8 teaspoon salt 
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Unroll pie crust and place in 9-inch pie plate; flute edges.

In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, flour, corn syrup, vanilla, and egg. Slowly stir in water and cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture boils. Let cool.

In a medium bowl, mix CRUMB TOPPING ingredients until crumbly. Pour cooled brown sugar mixture into crust and top evenly with crumbs.

Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden and set.

Note: I grew up in Indiana around the Amish. The Amish I know wouldn't use a refrigerated pie crust.
