Apple crumble pie is a warm, comforting dessert that blends the classic flavours of spiced apples with a sweet, crunchy crumble topping. This treat combines the best of two worlds: apple pie and crumble. Thus, it's ideally suited for any season, especially during the fall, when one can indulge in the apple crumble pie. The flaky crust topped with tender, spiced apples and golden, buttery crumble creates a harmonious contrast of textures and flavours in every bite. A classic apple crumble pie begins with a buttery pie crust to serve as the base to hold the filling that consists of sliced apples, usually Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. Sugar, cinnamon, and a hint of lemon juice give the fruits an extra boost of sweetness and brightness. Once the filling is layered into the pie crust, the topping is mixed by combining butter, flour, sugar, and oats; it crumbles all over the apples in a crispy, golden-brown topper that forms as baked. The play of textures is beautiful with apple crumble pie: soft, spiced apples contrasting with the crunchy, sugar-spangled crumble. After baking, the pie is this gorgeous golden brown filled with that deliciously inviting fragrance that makes the dessert a gift for gatherings or just another cosy evening with family at home. Often, it's served warm, an ice cream scoop included, followed by whipped cream if one is so indulgent. This is an excellent apple crumble pie recipe with the option to add nuts, raisins, or even just a dash of nutmeg for more depth.

Cooking steps for Apple Crumble Pie

  1. 1
    Apple Crumble Pie is dessert royalty—flaky crust, spiced apple filling, and golden crumble topping, all working together like a dream team.
  2. 2
    Start with the crust: use a 9-inch deep-dish pie crust, pre-made or homemade. If pre-made, make sure it's thawed and ready to hold the magic.
  3. 3
    Now for the filling: peel, core, and slice 5 cups of apples.
  4. 4
    Toss the apple slices in 1/2 cup of sugar and ¾ teaspoon of cinnamon, giving them a warm, sweet-spicy coat.
  5. 5
    Pile this into the crust, spreading evenly for that pro-level look.
  6. 6
    Time for the crumble: whisk ⅓ cup sugar and ¾ cup flour in a bowl.
  7. 7
    Add 6 tablespoons of cold butter, cutting it in with a pastry cutter or your fingers until it looks like coarse crumbs. Sprinkle this buttery magic over the apples, covering them completely for a crunchy crown.
  8. 8
    Bake at 350 F (175 C) for 45-50 minutes until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, shield them with foil.
  9. 9
    Let it cool slightly before serving with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. This recipe of Apple Crumble Pie is comfort food at its finest—sweet, spiced, and everything nice.
