This past weekend, we had a really nice visit with my Mom & Dad, so comfort food was on the menu! My family loves apple pie, especially my Dad. I only had one crust in the freezer, a huge bag of apples, and ingredients for a crumble, so I thought, I’d put them all together and make an Apple Crumble Pie! I love to wing it with cooking, and it doesn’t always work out, but this time it did! Yeeeuum!
The cinnamon oat crumble topping is such a delicious addition to this pie…it’s flavourful, sweet and compliments perfectly. I don’t know why I haven’t done this sooner!
You should make this…you won’t regret it!
Apple Crumble Pie
The cinnamon oat crumble topping on this Apple Crumble Pie is a delicious twist to classic apple pie!
- Yield: 1 Pie 1x
Ingredients
Pie Crust:
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup shortening (lard)
- 1/4 cup water
Apple Pie Mix:
- 5 – 6 medium apples (peeled, cored and sliced (I use Macintosh))
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2–3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp salt
Crumble Topping:
- 2/3 cup flour
- 2/3 cup rolled oats
- 2/3 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 5 tbsp melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Pie Crust:
- Sift flour and salt into a bowl.
- With a pie cutter, cut in the shortening until the particles are pea sized.
- Sprinkle in water, 1 tsp or so at a time, mixing lightly with a fork. Don’t over mix or the crust will be tough.
- Press into a ball. It is okay if it is crumbly. In fact crumbly makes for a tender, flaky crust!
- This recipe makes 2 – 9″ crusts, so split the ball in 2, and freeze one half for later.
- Press the crust into a 9″ pie plate.
Apple Pie Mix:
- In a separate bowl combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt. Set aside.
Crumble Topping:
- In another bowl combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt and melted butter.
Putting it all together:
- To the crust in the pie plate, add the apple mix, then top with crumble mixture.
- Bake for about 1 hour, or until you see the apple mix bubbling up from under the crumble.
Notes
This recipe makes 2 crusts, so after you split the dough in half, you can freeze one half for later!
