Apple Crumb Pie

Apple Crumb Pie

This yummy sounding recipe for apple crumb pie was originally submitted by Yittel from New York.

Yittel has added several delicious recipes to the site, most of them quite healthy. This is fairly healthy too, with very little sugar.

This is a variation of a Dutch apple pie, with a crumble top crust. The difference in this recipe is that you don’t have a bottom pie crust. Instead you have more delicious crumble.

Put it in a pie crust if you want as shown in the image above. The image below shows the recipe without the pie crust.

You can use your favorite apples in this recipe but remember that not all apples are suitable for cooking. Delicious apples are one example. Other than Courtland, McIntosh apples, Spy, Ida Red and Galas all bake well.

If you have another apple that you want to use, just make sure that it is right for baking. Red delicious apples, as an example, don’t bake well, so you’ll waste your time if you use them.

Enjoy the great apple taste.

Optional:

  • You can add a half of a 16 ounce can of cherry pie filling on top of the apples before the top crumbs layer.
  • If you don’t have Cortland apples, use your favorite cooking apples. I think the recipe tastes best if you use apples that soften when they are baked.
