I took my mothers recipe and made it even better. She didn't complain. LOL! I thought she'd ask what I changed, but she didn't. Hers or mine, both are easy and delicious! I warmed up some caramel and piped over the pie. Completely optional. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla or cinnamon ice cream. Yum!

How To Make ~ simple apple crumb pie ~ with or without caramel

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degree F. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon and flour. Toss to coat apples evenly.

Step 2

Evenly arrange apples in pie crust.
Step 3

In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Mix the flour and sugar with the melted butter.
Step 4

Crumble the mixture evenly over the apples and sprinkle with cinnamon, lightly. Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce temperature to 325 degree and bake an additional 25 - 30 minutes or until apples are tender. Note: I used a crust shield for the first 30 minutes.
Step 5

Cool on rack. Keep refrigerated when nor serving.
