Notes for Homemade Apple Crumble Pie

• Coconut Oil Tip: If your coconut oil is melted, simply pop it in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes until it firms up. This helps achieve the perfect crumbly texture for the crust and topping.
• Customization: Feel free to adjust the spices in the crumble topping to your liking—try experimenting with nutmeg, cardamom, or ground ginger for different flavor profiles.
• Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough for the crust ahead of time and keep it refrigerated for up to 2 days before assembling the pie.

Apple Crumble Pie Recipe Tips

• Choose good baking apples. You want ones that have a sweet-tart flavor and firm texture that will hold their shape when they’re baked. Gala, Honeycrisp, and Granny Smith apples are my favorites.
• Slice the apples thinly. That way, the slices fit together better, so you end up with more apples in each piece of pie. Plus, they bake evenly. If the apple slices are too thick, they won’t cook at the same rate as the crust and crumb topping.
• Chill your dough. Sure, pie dough shouldn’t be intimidating, but you do need to chill it. The chilling time is essential for making a flaky crust that’s easy to work with. Here, I call for two 30-minute chilling periods in the fridge. Don’t cut them short!
• Spice it up. I don’t call for cinnamon in the filling here, but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t add it. In fact, pinches of ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and/or cardamom would be delicious too.
• Let it cool before you cut it. Trust me, I know that it’s hard not to slice into the hot, fragrant pie as soon as it comes out of the oven. However, if you let it cool for an hour, the wait is totally worth it. The apple filling will be more cohesive and less watery, and the sweet, spiced flavor will only improve as the pie sits.

These tips ensure a perfectly textured pie with a flavorful balance!
