Next, form into one ball then roll dough into one 12 inch circle on slightly-floured surface. Fit dough into pie plate (9-inch). Trim it to 1/2-inch beyond edges then fold it under then flute.
Prepare the pastry and roll it out then place into pie plate (9-inch) then line edge w/ double-thick foil. Next, bake 450 deg F about 8 mins. Remove the foil then bake for 5-6 mins more ’til golden; cool onto rack afterwards. Lower the heat (375 deg F).
Place dried-fruit in small mixing bowl and put boiling hot water onto them. Let it stand for 5 mins; drain. Slice the apples thinly in food-processor; mix in bowl w/ dried-fruit. Mound mixed-fruit into baked piecrust and arrange fruits so they fit in crust.
In separate bowl, mix 3 Tbsps of flour, salt, apple-pie spice then sugar. Stir half-and-half in then pour carefully onto fruits. In medium-sized bowl, mix 1/3 c of flour, sugar (brown), nutmeg and nuts. Cut butter in ’til coarse-texture crumbs of pea sizes are resembled.
Sprinkle over filling. Then, cover edges of crust w/ foil then bake about 25 mins. Take out foil then bake about 20-25 mins ’til fruit becomes tender and turns golden. Then, cool about 45 mins on rack.
Next, drizzle w/ vanilla-icing then chill in fridge. Bring it to room-temperature before it is served.
