To prepare, remove the pie from its packaging. Place it on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the pie to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. The aroma of the baking pie will fill your kitchen.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a traditional lattice-top apple pie, this crumb pie offers a different textural experience. The crumb topping provides a more rustic and crunchy element, contrasting with the soft apple filling. The absence of a top crust allows the crumb mixture to bake directly onto the fruit, creating a unique flavor profile.

Home cooks looking for a simple and satisfying dessert option.
How to keep the rest
After baking and cooling, any leftover pie should be covered tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Store it at room temperature for up to two days or in the refrigerator for up to four days. For longer storage, individual slices can be frozen.
