Yo Momma's apple pie

1 unbaked 9 inch pie crust

1/cup sugar
1 and a 1/2 tsp cinnamon
mix these together in a small bowl

6 granny smith apples peeled, cored, and sliced.
1 small lemon (As you slice the apples toss them with some lemon juice. About a tablespoon in all)

topping:
1/4 cup soy margarine
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup rolled oats (not quick cooking)
1/4--1/2 cup margarine

Preheat oven to 400.

Toss the cut up apples with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Pour apples into the unbaked pie crust.In a small bowl mix together the soy margarine, brown sugar and rolled oats. Add in a 1/4 cup of the flour. Work in more flour(up to 1/2 a cup) until you make a sort of dough(I usually end up using my hands to smoosh it together). Take pieces of the dough and flatten them using your hands to 1/4 inch or so pieces (not real important that they be real thin). Place them on top of the apples to form sort of a top crust. There will be spaces, don't worry! This is in no way going to be perfect. I like to refer to it as a patchwork. Then cover the pie with foil. Bake in the oven at 400 for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and turn the oven temp down to 375 and bake for an additional 20 -30 minutes.
