Crumble Topping

  • To make the topping, add the flour, oats, sugar, and cheddar into a bowl and stir with a fork.
  • Pour the melted butter into the crumble mixture and mix until the flour and sugar are a wet sand consistency.

  • Place the pie on a baking sheet and sprinkle the crumble all over the top. Bake at 350ºF for 55 minutes. When the pie is done, let rest for 30 minutes before serving so that the center can thicken.

Tips & Notes

  • It is important to bake the pie on a cookie sheet. In the beginning the apples will overflow in the crust, but they will settle and sink while baking.
  • You can certainly mix up the spices in this more traditional apple pie filling. Adding nutmeg and/or clove or vanilla can bring great warm flavor profiles. However, it is important not to adjust the crumble topping. Crumble toppings can be finicky. This one comes out perfectly crispy on top.
