How Do I Make Easy Apple Crumble Pie?

Here’s the simple steps you’ll follow to make this Pie (scroll down for the full recipe):

 

Apple Filling:

• Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices and place in a bowl.
• In a different bowl, place the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice, and mix to combine.
• Pour the mixture over the apples and coat the apples until all the mixture is used.
• Next layer the apple slices into a pie shell.

 

Crumble Topping:

• Place the flour, sugars, cinnamon, and the butter in a medium bowl. Using a fork or a pastry blender, blend the mixture together.
• Place the topping over the apples; with your hands slightly pat the topping so that it sticks to the apple mixture.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 degrees for 45-55 minutes longer.
• With a meat thermometer or fork, poke the center of the pie to see if the apples are soft and tender.
• Allow the pie to cool slightly or serve at room temperature.

 

 

 

 

 

Tips and Tricks For Easy Apple Crumble Pie:

 

• Use an apple that holds up well, like Granny smith.
• Always peel your apples for pie as the skin can become tough and chewy after it is baked.
• Don’t skimp on the apples, as they’ll shrink a little as they bake.
• Make sure that your crumble topping has been mixed thoroughly. If it is powdery, it hasn’t been mixed enough. Mix it together with your hands until bigger crumbs form.
• If you notice the topping starts to brown too early, tent the pie or cover it loosely with a piece of aluminum foil.
• Use a nice deep dish pie plate and always set the pie plate on a baking sheet to bake. This will catch any drips or spills should your pie bubble over!
• If there is extra juice, it will thicken the pie as it cools.
• You can leave this pie out for up to 2 days, but I suggest that you put it in the fridge to help make it last up to 4-5 days.
