Ingredients for Apple Crumb Pie<\/h2>\n
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Cut in the shortening using a fork or pastry cutter, and continue doing so until the dough is rough and crumbly. Gradually add cold water a tablespoon or two at a time, tossing with a fork, until the dough is soft enough to come together into a ball. Shape it into a disk, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate the dough for at least one hour or up to overnight.<\/p>\n Set your oven to 450\u00b0F. Lightly flour a work surface, then roll the dough out to an 1\/8-inch-thick circle (about 12 inches round). Carefully transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie plate, making sure not to stretch it. Drape the edges over the pie plate, and trim the crust to 1\/2 inch beyond the rim of the plate. Flute or crimp the crust edges as you like.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Learn to make the perfect fluted edges, roped edges and other decorative pie crusts<\/a>.<\/p>\n Take your thinly sliced apples, and lay them in the pie crust. Now, whisk together the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl, and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip: <\/em>You don’t have to be too careful with arranging your apples perfectly inside the crust, but the more deliberate you are, the tighter the apples will be in the pie, which is ideal. For a simple arrangement, you can lay the apples flat in concentric circles, overlapping from the edge to the center, in layers, until you run out.<\/p>\n In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, white sugar and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apple filling.<\/p>\n Bake the pie for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven setting to 350\u00b0, and continue baking until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, 50 to 60 minutes. Let the pie cool on a wire rack, and serve.<\/p>\n Let your pie cool to room temperature, then wrap it in storage wrap or place it in an airtight container. It will stay fresh for three to four days in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n We recommend Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apples for our apple crumb pie. The flesh of these apples stays intact even after they’re baked, and you want an apple that will not turn mushy or break down too much while it cooks.<\/p>\n As you peel and slice the apples, place them in a bowl of water with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice. The acid will keep the apple flesh bright, without flavoring the apples.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Indulge in the flavors of autumn with a gorgeous, rustic apple crumb pie.

The first time I came across this recipe in the magazine I knew I wanted to make this pie. I just wanted to wait for the right time. So yesterday we had our first cold snap and I had a huge basket of apples and felt I had my opportunity. I was nervous about making the pie crust because me and pie crusts don't get along. Usually I opt for the Pillsbury dough boy. So I lovingly, just like Virginia Floren Olsen, set about to make this pie. It is the best pie ever. I can't say that enough. The pie crust turned out perfectly. I did substitute butter for the shortening in the pie crust since I didn't have any. I was so proud of my achievement in my first apple pie. My picky husband loved it. I will definately be making this again. So thank you Mrs.Olson for this wonderful pie recipe.

The first time I came across this recipe in the magazine I knew I wanted to make this pie. I just wanted to wait for the right time. So yesterday we had our first cold snap and I had a huge basket of apples and felt I had my opportunity. I was nervous about making the pie crust because me and pie crusts don't get along. Usually I opt for the Pillsbury dough boy. So I lovingly, just like Virginia Floren Olsen, set about to make this pie. It is the best pie ever. I can't say that enough. The pie crust turned out perfectly. I did substitute butter for the shortening in the pie crust since I didn't have any. I was so proud of my achievement in my first apple pie. My picky husband loved it. I will definately be making this again. So thank you Mrs.Olson for this wonderful pie recipe. It really is a gift.<\/p>","CommentId":54,"DateRated":"10\/20\/2011 09:17","GUID":"35bbbdd33c9a43cb85ca81fe6dca7939","MemberId":4684432,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"sarahj33","SubmittedDate":"10\/20\/2011 09:17"},{"Comment":" Easy to follow recipe!

How do I keep peeled apples from turning brown?<\/h3>\n
What kind of apples should I use when making apple pie with crumb topping?<\/h3>We recommend Granny Smith as the go-to apple for this pie because they\u2019re tart and firm and keep their shape while providing a perfect balance to the sweet ingredients. Here's more on the best apples for baking<\/a>. \r\n
What should I do if the topping browns too quickly while baking?<\/h3>Cover the pie with foil to prevent the crumb topping from browning too quickly. If you\u2019re concerned the pie\u2019s edges might brown, make a quick pie crust shield<\/a>.\r\n
<\/div>Can I use store-bought pie crust to make apple pie with crumb topping? <\/h3>Yes, you can use a store-bought premade pie crust<\/a> with good results. For the best flavor, we recommend choosing a high-quality brand that uses real butter. Here are more pie tips and tricks<\/a>.<\/div>
