Apple Crumble PieWhen our girls were small, one of our favorite fall activities was making a trip to the Apple Barn to eat warm apple fritters with apple butter and to buy a basket of fresh apples and a jug of cider to bring home. Of course, that always meant that I had no choice but to bake a fresh apple pie the next week. Our oldest loved them so much that she started requesting a homemade apple pie for her birthday every year instead of cake! Whether you prefer a traditional double-crust apple pie or an apple crumble pie, I think you’d agree that delicious homemade apple desserts epitomize warmth, family, and love. I hope you’ll enjoy baking and sharing this pie with your family and friends. 😊
What’s the difference between an apple crumble and an apple crisp?Both apple desserts are very similar, but a fruit crisp usually has oats in the crumble mixture on top while a crumble is more of a streusel topping of flour, sugar, and butter without any added oats. Ingredients
How to make Apple Crumble Pie
PRO TIP: My Pampered Chef Apple Peeler, Corer, and Slicer makes this apple prepping step so much easier and faster! It attaches right to your counter top (or you can get the accessory wooden stand). If you love apple desserts, you need this gadget—I had my apples ready in 10 minutes tops!
How many apples makes 6 cups?On average, a medium size apple will yield about 1 1/3 cups of sliced apple, so for this classic apple crumble pie you will need around 5 medium apples. Why is my apple crumble pie watery?Some apples release more juices than others as they bake, so that could be part of the problem. Also, apple pies will be more watery if you slice them before the pie has completely cooled (like I am prone to do!). As the pie cools, the filling will thicken even more. How do you keep the crust of an apple pie from getting soggy?There are several tricks you can use to prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy. The most obvious is to blind bake the crust for about 15 minutes before adding the apples. You can also either brush the bottom crust with an egg white or sprinkle a few bread crumbs on it before adding the apples. Never prick the bottom with a fork, though, or you will definitely end up with a soggy crust! Can you freeze apple crumble pie?Absolutely! You can freeze apple pie either before or after baking. To freeze an unbaked apple crumble pie, place it in a freezer-safe and oven proof pan wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and a layer of aluminum foil. To freeze a baked apple crumble pie (or leftovers), place the room temperature pie uncovered in the freezer for a couple of hours, or until frozen solid, then wrap in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Frozen apple pie will keep for 3 to 4 months. How do you reheat a frozen apple pie?First, thaw the pie overnight in the refrigerator. To reheat in the oven, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the pie on a baking sheet and cover lightly with aluminum foil and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 5 minute to crisp up the top. Related recipes
