Apple Crumble Pie

Apple crumble pie is one of my favorite desserts!  Below is how I make this delicious pie.

Ingredients
    Filling:
  • 6 Granny Smith apples ( diced )
  • 1/8 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons of salted butter
  • 1/8 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup of walnuts
  • 1 pie crust ( thawed)










Topping:
  • 3/8 cup of flour
  • 1 cup of brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons of cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup of butter
Directions ( preheat oven to 400F)
  1. Mix diced apples with flour, sugar cinnamon and walnuts in a bowl
  2. Pout apple mix in thawed pie crust
  3. Dice up butter and spread evenly over apple mix
  4. In another bowl, mix flour, sugar and cinnamon
  5. Melt butter and pour into flour mixture
  6. Stir until all ingredients and evenly mixed
  7. Pour crumble mix of apple and spread evenly until every apple is covered
  8. Bake pie for 40 minutes
  9. Enjoy with a scoop ( or two) of french vanilla ice-cream
Notes:
  • You can also use puff pastry instead of pie crust
  • You can also make this recipe without using a pie crust
  • When dicing the apples, I like to leave the skin on...a little fiber in this sinfully, delicious dessert! :-)  
  • When I have more time, I make the pie crust using the pie recipe from the cookbook "Akwaaba: A Taste of Ghana".
