Crumbly Apple Pie image

The buttery brown sugar topping is a great variation on this classic apple pie! Best of all, the steam from the baking apples isn't held in by a top crust...apples are tender, not mushy and bottom crust isn't soggy!

The pie crust was a little difficult to work with, but the end result was worth it. The crust was flaky and golden brown.

This pie was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's because I used a sweeter variety of apples. Next time I'll try using a tarter apple.

I love the crumbly topping on this pie. It's so much better than the traditional flaky crust.

I used Granny Smith apples for this recipe and they were perfect. The tartness of the apples balanced out the sweetness of the sugar and cinnamon.

This apple pie recipe was a hit! The crumbly topping was perfectly crispy and the apples were tender and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
