Apple Crumble Pie Tips
What kind of apples can you use to make apple crumble pie?
You want an apple that will not turn mushy or break down too much while it bakes. We recommend Golden Delicious or Granny Smith apples for baking because their flesh stays intact even after they are baked. Check out all the
ways you can cook with apples for your next meal!
How can you make apple crumble pie your own?
Instead of apples, you can try using pears for a fun new spin. You can also play around with different
spices such as ground ginger, cardamom, or cloves that will still provide that classic, warm spice flavoring that's classic to
fall desserts.
How should you store apple crumble pie?
After the pie is baked and cooled, it will stay fresh for 3 to 4 days stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also opt to freeze it, just plan on eating it within 2 months. Here are some more of our
best apple desserts to try next!
