Preheat oven to 400°. Use your "Peel Away" apple peeler (available at Hirsch's) to peel, core and slice apples, (or you can do this step by hand) then cut apples in half. Put apples in large bowl. Mix 1/2 C sugar, 1 tsp. cinnamon and a pinch of salt together and toss with apples to coat. Place apples in pie shell. 

For crumb topping; mix 1/2 C sugar and pinch of salt with 3/4 C flour. Cut in butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples.
