DessertsHow To Make An Apple Cobbler Crumb Pie For Dessert
My grandmother was great at making homemade pies. As a child, I always looked forward to the fall baking season as we would go to the apple orchard and pick our own apples. Once we would get back home, I would spend hours in the kitchen helping Grandma bake some fresh apple pies.
Grandma"s Apple Cobbler Crumb Pie
Pie Ingredients:
1 unbaked pie crust (9 to 10 inch)
lemon juice
6 cups sliced, peeled apples (I use Gala)
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
Peel, core and slice your apples down and place slices in a large bowl. Sprinkle the slices with a little lemon juice and set aside.
In a large bowl combine the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Pour this sugar mixture over top of the apple slices and gently stir to coat the slices. Spoon the mixture into a 9 or 10 inch unbaked pie crust. Dot the top with some butter or margarine.
Cobbler Crumb Topping Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup butter or margarine
Combine all of the above ingredients together in a large bowl except for the butter. Once they are combined, cut in the butter until the mixture becomes crumbly. Drop mixture on top of the pie filling by the teaspoonful until its completely covered by the topping.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 40 minutes or until the apples are soft and the pie is lightly browned.
Serving Suggestions: You can serve your pie warm or cold. We like to serve ours with vanilla ice cream, vanilla yogurt or with some whipped topping.
