Open in Pepper →The Pie That Skips The Top Crust
Rolling out a top crust is the part most of us dread. A crumble topping fixes that — flour, brown sugar, butter, and oats stirred together with a fork and scattered over the apples, no chilling and no patching cracks.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when apples are piling up on the counter, when company is coming Sunday, or when they want something in the oven while dinner cooks and the kitchen smells like cinnamon all evening.
Every recipe here leans on apples and butter and not much else: Grandma's apple crumble with its oatmeal topping, Homemade Apple Crumble Pie, Sheri's Dutch Apple Pie with white sugar and cinnamon, a simple Apple Crumble with honey crisp apples and lemon, and an Apple Crumble Tart.
Quick Tips
- 1
Mix two apple kinds
Use half firm apples like honey crisp and half softer ones so you get slices that hold their shape plus some that break down into sauce. Slice them about 1/4 inch thick.
- 2
Squeeze lemon on apples
Toss the sliced apples with the juice of half a lemon right after cutting. It keeps them from browning while you make the topping.
- 3
Keep the butter cold
Cut cold butter into the flour and brown sugar with a fork or your fingers until it looks like pea-sized crumbs. Warm butter turns the topping into paste.
- 4
Bake on a sheet pan
Set the pie on a rimmed baking sheet before it goes in the oven — apple juices bubble over around minute 40 and burn on the oven floor.
