Crumb Topped Apple Pie

Think of this crumb topped apple pie as a cross between apple pie and apple crisp. The sweet, buttery cookie-like crumble topping pairs perfectly with soft, gently spiced apple slices. Perfect for holidays and lazy Sunday afternoons.

To get started, preheat your oven to 350.

Combine flour, brown sugar, oats, salt, and chopped pecans in a small mixing bowl, then add the melted butter. Pack 1 cup of the mixture into a measuring cup and set it aside;

gently press remaining mixture into a 9″ pie plate.

Be sure not to pack it in there too tightly or it will be too hard and messy to slice the pie when it’s baked.

In a small saucepan, combine sugar, cornstarch, salt, water, and vanilla and bring to a boil. While mixture is heating, place 3 sliced, peeled apples in the pie crust.

After sugar/water mixture has come to a boil, pour the hot mixture over the apples.

Sprinkle reserved crumb topping over apples

and then place the pie plate on a baking sheet.

Bake for 43-45 minutes. During the last 15 minutes or so, you may need to cover the pie with a sheet of aluminum foil to keep the pie from getting too brown.

Serve warm (if you can)

with a scoop of vanilla ice cream

or a dollop of sweetened whipped cream.

But really. This is August Pie. So eating it cold is still going to be pretty amazing.
