Topping:
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon allspice
6 tablespoons cold butter (3/4 of
a stick)
7/8 cup milk
2 tablespoons beaten egg
Preheat your oven to 375F. Grease a 10 inch deep
dish pie pan with
butter. Combine the filling ingredients in a bowl
and put into pie
pan.
For the topping, sift the flour, sugar, baking
powder, salt and
allspice together. Cut in the butter until the
mixture is the
consistency of coarse cornmeal. Add the milk and
beat with a fork
until just blended, forming a stiff, but sticky
dough.
Drop the dough in small pieces onto the filling
leaving some spaces
for steam to escape. Brush with the beaten egg
and bake for a half
hour or until golden brown.
Serve warm with French Vanilla Ice Cream and a few chopped walnuts.
