Christina's Notes
- Pie Shield: Use a pie shield, perfect for making a pie.
- Short cut tip: Frozen apples can be used, no need to peel them.
- Topping: Sprinkle a little more sugar on top of the pie crust crumble!
- Pie Crust: If you want to use a homemade pie crust that you've made before and love, go ahead and bake this pie with your own crust.
- Other Mix-Ins: Nuts or cranberries can make a nice addition to the pie.
- Low Sugar: Feel free to use a sugar alternative such as Splenda in this apple crumble pie that's easy to follow.
- Pie on a Baking Sheet: Place your glass pie dish on a baking sheet to easily grab it out of the oven and in case it bubbles over and makes a mess all over the pan and not your oven.
