For topping, combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar and pie spice; cut in shortening until crumbly. Sprinkle over batter. Bake at 350° for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired.
