 --------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/4  c             rolled oats
    1      c             all-purpose flour
      1/2  tsp           salt
      1/4  c             pure lard
    3      tbsp          cold water
                         Filling:
    4      c             peeled, sliced apples
      3/4  c             brown sugar
      1/4  tsp           cinnamon
                         Topping:
      1/4  c             rolled oats
      1/4  c             all-purpose flour
    2      tbsp          brown sugar
      1/4  tsp           cinnamon
      1/4  c             margarine
 
 For pastry, stir oats, flour and salt, then cut in lard until mixture
 resembles coarse crumbs. Blend in water and form into ball of dough with
 fingertips.
 
 Let stand 5 minutes, then roll to fit an 8 or 9″ pie plate. It is a bit
 tender to lift, so pass a spatula under as you fold it in two. If it
 breaks, simply join it together.
 
 To fill, stir apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Pack into pie shell. 
 
 To top, mix oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in margarine until
 mixture is crumb-like, then cover apples.
 
 Bake for 35 minutes at 375 degrees F, or until golden brown on top.

 NOTES : This unusual pie is full of crunch and nut-like flavor.
