Award-Winning Apple Crumb Pie

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Award-Winning Apple Crumb Pie.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your pie bakes evenly and comes out perfectly golden.

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of vegetable oil, 3 tablespoons of milk, 2 teaspoons of white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix these ingredients together until they form a cohesive dough. Once ready, transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and press it down gently to create a lovely crust.

3. Step 3

   Next, let’s prepare the apple filling! In a large bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Toss in about 6 cups of sliced apples, ensuring they are well-coated in the sweet cinnamon mixture. This step adds a delightful flavor to your pie!

4. Step 4

   Now, for the crumb topping! In another bowl, stir together 1 cup of flour and 1 cup of brown sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup of cold butter using a knife or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This crumbly topping will add a delicious texture to your pie.

5. Step 5

   Sprinkle the crumb mixture generously over the apple filling in the pie dish, creating a beautiful layer of crumbs on top.

6. Step 6

   Finally, place your pie in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. The aroma wafting through your kitchen will be irresistible!
