• 1 pinch salt

Instructions

1. In a food processor bowl, mix the streusel ingredients, 1/3 cup sugar, brown sugar, 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
    
2. Add the butter and process until the mixture is crumbly; it should still have a dry look to it -- don't over process. Add the nuts then set aside.
    
3. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
    
4. Peel, core and thinly slice apples; there should be 4 cups. Place apples in the pie shell.
    
5. In a small bowl, mix the remaining sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Beat the egg in a medium bowl, and add the cream and vanilla.
    
6. Add the sugar mixture to the egg mixture and blend. Pour over the apples.
    
7. Bake for 1 hour in the lower one-third of the oven. After 20 minutes, sprinkle streusel over the top and continue baking approximately 40 minutes longer, or until the top puffs and is golden brow
