Рецепт Apple Pie with Crumb Topping
Apple Pie with Crumb Topping

Um…drool?! Like seriously, I don’t know if I should say anything about this perfect apple pie with crumb topping. This is an easy recipe when you are craving apple pie, which is usually almost every other day for me. I usually like a lattice top to get that double crust (I love pie crust) but every now and then I need a good crumb topping. It adds extra sweet and crunch and yumminess that I sometimes just eat all by itself…before it is even baked!
Okay, enough about my horrible greediness for sweets.
Delicious Rating: Bake this tonight, you won’t regret it! I put the crumble on the pie when it first goes in the oven not halfway through. It gets a nice crispy crumble that I love. Also, be sure not to go over with the butter. I find that is the mistake with crumbles that are too soft or break up easily and get lost int the pie. You can use this topping for an apple crisp for greatness as well. Let me know in the comments if you prefer an extra top pie crust or a crumb topping!

Place dough on a clean surface and gently work into a round disk, don’t over knead.
Wrap in saran wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Filling: Cut up apples and place in a bowl along with the sugar, 2 tbsp flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice.
Mix well to coat the apples and let sit.
Crumb Topping: Combine all 6 ingredients until nicely crumbly.
Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
Take out pie crust and allow to come to room temperature in 5 minutes or so.
Roll out into a 12 inch circle on a floured surface, adding flour as necessary to avoid sticking.

Make the crust yourself in a food processor, with a pastry blender, or a fork. If you aren’t liking those options, yes, you can buy a ready made pie crust from the store.
Delicious!
