Apple Pie Recipe with Crust and Crumb Topping.





Apple Pie!



I realize Apple Pies are easy but I really like making them haha! I made one for Thanksgiving! I did not make my own crust because I don't have the counter space to make one at the moment. I did use Trader Joe's frozen crust dough though! It was pretty good! I also made a crumb topping for one.

INGREDIENTS:
  1. Pastry for 9in Two crust pie.
  2. 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar.
  3. 1/2 cup of white sugar.
  4. 1/4 cup of flour.
  5. 1/2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg.
  6. 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.
  7. Dash of salt.
  8. 4-6 cups of peeled and thinly sliced apples.(I used Gala Apples)
  9. 2 tablespoons of butter.
DIRECTIONS:

     Heat oven to 425. Mix sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Stir in apples. Put into pastry-lined pie plate. Put your butter on top in slices. Cover with top crust. Cover the edges with foil. The last 15 minutes of baking remove the foil. Bake for 40-50 minutes. Make sure you put in some slits with a knife in the top crust.

INGREDIENTS FOR CRUMB TOPPING:
  1. 1 cup of flour.
  2. 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar.
  3. 1/2 cup of firm butter.
DIRECTIONS FOR CRUMB TOPPING:

     Mix all ingredients together until "crumb" looking. Place on top of the apple mixture and cook for the same amount of time and heat. Use the foil on the edges as well.
