Apple Crumble Pie

If you’ve ever wanted to bake something that smells like happiness and tastes like a warm hug from your grandma, this is it. Apple Crumble Pie is the dessert that politely says, “I’m here to make your day better.” It’s sweet, it’s crunchy, and it doesn’t ask much from you—except maybe a little oven time and zero judgment when you eat three slices.

This recipe brings together a buttery pie crust, juicy apples, and a golden crumble topping. You don’t need a culinary degree. You need apples, sugar, flour, and the will to eat pie for breakfast.

Ingredients

For the pie base
1 ready-made 9-inch pie crust
5 large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work well)
1/2 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the crumble topping
3/4 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup cold butter, diced

How to make Apple Crumble Pie

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Peel, core, and slice the apples. Don’t overthink the shape. They just need to fit in a pie dish.

Put the apple slices in a bowl. Add sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir everything with a spoon like you mean it.

Place the pie crust into a pie dish. Press it gently so it hugs the dish. Pour the apple mix into the crust. Pat it down to fit nicely.

How to make Apple Pie Crumble topping

To make the crumble, mix flour, brown sugar, and white sugar in a bowl. Add cold butter. Use your fingers or a fork to blend until it looks like small crumbs. This is not the time to worry about perfection.

Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apples. Try not to eat the crumble before it goes in the oven.

Place the pie in the oven. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes. Check that the top is golden and the apples are bubbling. If the top browns too fast, loosely cover it with foil.

Let it cool for at least 15 minutes. You can eat it warm, cold, or straight from the dish while standing at the fridge. We won’t judge.

Final Tip

Serve with ice cream, whipped cream, or silence if you don’t want to share. This pie makes friends quickly—sometimes faster than you do.
