1 t. cinnamon
dash nutmeg

Tips

Use a food processor to quickly and easily make the crumb topping.
If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour and sugar for the crumb topping.
Be sure to chill the pie dough before rolling it out. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking and becoming tough.
If you don't have time to chill the pie dough, you can use a store-bought pie crust.
To prevent the pie from burning, place it on a baking sheet before baking.
If the edges of the pie crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
Let the pie cool for at least 1 hour before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.
Serve the pie with whipped cream, ice cream, or your favorite topping.
