TOPPING:
While the pie is baking, in a mixing bowl, at low
speed, combine flour, sugars, and cinnamon.
Increase speed to medium; gradually add butter and
vanilla, beating until wet crumbs form. Remove pie
from the oven; uncover. Using your hands, press
tablespoons of the crumb mixture together to form
large crumbs; place over filling, covering the
entire surface. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes or
until lightly browned. Cool on a rack; remove side
from the pan. Stir together the confectioners
sugar and 8 tsp water until smooth. Transfer to a
plastic food storage bag; snip one corner; drizzle
over crumbs.
