Lol, not in this case, but I'll be happy to share the recipe.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
1 9" glass, or metal pie pan

Rustic Apple Tart

Ingredients

2 large apples - 1 tart (Granny Smith), & 1 sweet (Golden Delicious) cored, peeled, and thinly sliced

1/2 cup of washed, shucked, sliced strawberries (or a ripe but firm peach, or pear, whichever you like)

1/2 cup of raisins

Juice of one fresh lemon (don't use that bottled stuff, it sucks!) - remove seeds

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1/3 cup of lt. brown sugar

1/2 cup of flour

1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon

1/4 cup (1/2 a stick) of softened sweet butter (don't try softening it in the microwave - leave on counter overnight to soften)

Pillsbury frozen pie crust - get the kind that comes in sheets rolled up. Defrost by putting in lowest shelf of fridge overnight.

Prep
Toss together fruit, lemon, granulated sugar. Set aside.

Place all remaining ingredients except pie crust in mixer bowl. Mix with electric mixer (or by hand) until mix is crumbly. Set aside.

Roll pastry out flat. Transfer to pie plate, leaving about a 2" overlap. (The overlap will be folded over the fruit later.)

Gently mound fruit mixture onto pie crust, leaving a 2" border on all sides.

Sprinkle crumb mixture on top of fruit. Fold pastry up over filling, pleating as necessary to fit snugly around fruit. Gently press dough to filling, reinforcing shape.

Brush pastry with egg wash: beat one egg & 2 tablespoons of milk together. Brush this mixture on dough only.

Bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes - keep an eye on it.

Remove from oven and place on a wire rack to cool. Can be served warm w/ice cream...

Give this recipe a try. It sounds more complicated then it really is, and you'll love the results - enjoy!! If you do try this, I'd love to hear your comments.
