Apple Crumble Pie / Swirly Apple Pie

Ingredients

Filling

  • 6 cups of sliced apples (I like to vary the size of slices between 1/8 to 1/4 inch)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3 1/2 cups water
  • 1 pie crust

Crumb Topping

  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup butter

Directions

  1. Slice enough apples to get 6 cups. Pour lemon juice over the slices and set aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients together in a large pot and then pour in water. 
  3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for two minutes while stirring and then add in apples. 
  4. Bring back to a boil and then turn down heat and simmer for about 8 minutes. 
  5. Let cool for 30 minutes. 
  6. Combine crumb topping ingredients with a fork until crumbs form.
  7. Place pie crust in a pie pan, add filling, and sprinkle crumb topping on. 
  8. Bake at 450 for 10 minutes and then turn the heat down to 350 and continue for 50 minutes. 
  9. Enjoy!

Tips

  • Vary the size of the slices- I like to vary the size of slices between 1/8 to 1/4 inch
  • Use a variety of apples
  • Double or triple the recipe and freeze the filling- it will last up to 6 months
  • This is enough filling for 2 9-inch pies or 1 deep dish 10-inch pie:)
  • Do not over mix your crumb topping and if you have time, throw it in the freezer for 10-15 minutes before putting on the pie and baking.

Swirly Apple Pie Variation 

  1. Combine 1/4 cup butter, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. 
  2. Spread out on rolled out pie crust. 
  3. Roll pie crust and put in the fridge. 
  4. Make filling and crumb as listed above. 
  5. Take rolled up pie crust out of the fridge and cut into 1/2 inch slices. 
  6. Place slices in pie pan and press down until all circles are touching the the entire pan is covered. 
  7. Bake following the instructions above. :)

    1. Depends on the size of your apples:) For regular sized appled probably 7-8 but I use some bigger ones and end up using 4-5. If you have a large measuring cup or pitcher, I suggest using that to measure:)

    1. I get them from dollar tree and Walmart when I get the tins:) I always use 10 inch because I prefer a thicker pie:)

  10. I tried making this pie for thanksgiving and had many problems with cooking after fully following all the directions. The pie was delicious but had to pull it early otherwise it would’ve burned.
