BERNAIE'S DUTCH APPLE PIE WITH ANISE SEED

Steps:

• CRUST: Make one pie crust and shape it into the pan. FILLING: Peel, core and slice apples into some lemon water to keep them from turning brown. Measure the lemon juice and put to the side. Measure all the rest of the filling ingredients and mix them together and put to the side. Drain the apple slices and blot them dry with some paper towels and place them in a large, dry bowl. Sprinkle the apple slices with the lemon juice, and now add the dry ingredients and toss to coat the apple slices and pour them into the crust. TOPPING: Combine all topping ingredients -except the butter- in a bowl and mix together. Now add the butter and combine until you have a crumbly mixture. Top the apples in the crust with this topping and gently pack it down. Bake at 375° F for about 1 hour. Serve warm, with a slice of cheddar or some vanilla ice cream.
