This last weekend, we went to Grant’s Family Reunion in North Carolina from Friday through Sunday morning. It was a wonderful visit, and it was so nice to finally get to see all of his Mom, Sister, Brother-in-Law, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins again. Most of the menu was already planned since everyone there is a great cook/baker. So, I brought some desserts to add to the celebrations since all the main meals were already covered. Also, the desserts I made traveled well so that is always a plus. So here is my apple crumb pie that I made the day before our trip.
Apple Crumb Pie
I used 6 Granny Smith apples, the more tart the better!
Peel them.
Core them.
Thinly slice them in your favorite large bowl.
Add Sugar.
Add flour and salt.
Add cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of lemon juice.
Mix well and let sit while making the crumb topping.
In a separate container/bowl, add the sugar for the topping.
Add flour.
Add chopped butter.
Mix with a fork until it starts to be more crumbly.
Add the apples to the pie crust, they will form a mound which is fine, and I always tend to have too much so I always make a mini pie in a ramkin.
Top with crumbs.
