Apple Crumble Pie

Cookbook Category: Pies

One of my sons won a neighborhood pie contest with this pie. It's good, and he has lots more experience on the golf course than in the kitchen; i.e., it′s easy.

5 cups apple slices (Golden Delicious preferred)
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons cold butter, cut in small pieces

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Peel and slice the apples into quarter-inch slices until you have 5 cups of apple slices. Put apple slices into the unbaked pie shell.

Mix together the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon, and sprinkle evenly over the apple slices.

Prepare the crumble top by mixing the remaining 1/3 cup sugar with the flour. Cut in the butter with a pastry blender or fork until ingredients are incorporated. Sprinkle crumble mixture on top of pie.

Bake at 400°F for 35 to 40 minutes until crumble top is golden brown.

Makes one pie.
