The Best Apple Pie with Crumble Topping
This old-fashioned apple pie with crumble topping is made with tender cinnamon-spiced apples and a buttery streusel topping.
Ingredients
Apple Pie
- 5 to 6 cups thinly sliced apples
- 1/4 Heaping cup of all-purpose flour
- 1 cup White sugar
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1 9- to 10-inch Unbaked pie crust
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for serving, optional
Crumble Topping
- 2/3 stick Butter, melted
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cup Flour
Instructions
Apple Pie
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel and thinly slice the apples, then place them in a large bowl.
- Add the sugar, flour, and cinnamon into the sliced apples and stir.
- Pour the apple mixture into an unbaked pie shell.
Crumble Topping
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, and flour.
- Use a fork to mix the crumb mixture until it becomes thick and crumbly.
- Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.
- If the edge of the crust becomes too brown, cover the edges with foil or a pie shield.
- Cool the pie on a wire cooling rack and serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
To use canned apples, use two 15-ounce cans of sliced apples, well drained. Since canned apples are already sweetened, reduce the sugar to ½ cup and the flour to 3 tablespoons. The buttery crumb topping stays exactly the same.
To substitute peaches, use 5 to 6 cups of thinly sliced peaches. Continue with the rest of the ingredients.
