Shhh….don’t tell my Mom but I created a new apple pie recipe, and Apple Crumble Pie. It goes against every slice of pie I had while growing up, but oh man, it was good!
The crumb topping was sensational, and something that I have never tried before. It’s like coffee cake and apple pie had a baby just in time for thanksgiving. Sorry Mom, this might be my new tradition 😉
Apple Crumble Pie
Coming from New England, Apple Pie is a yearly necessity. I decided to switch things up and make a delicious Apple Crumble Pie!
Ingredients
- Pie Filling:
- 6 Cups Sliced Apples
- 2 Tbsp Tapioca

Instructions
- For Filling:
- Peel and slice apples. Combine with tapioca, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir so that the mixture evenly covers the apples. Let sit for 20 minutes.
- Crust:
- In a medium bowl stir together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until pieces are pea sized.
- Sprinkle 1 tbsp of water over the flour mixture and toss with a fork. Push moistened dough to the side of the bowl. Continue until all of the flour mixture is moistened and form dough into a ball

- Unroll pastry into a 9 inch pie plate.
- Trim pastry and fold under extra pastry to form lip for crust.
