This is a great way of making the perfect apple pie with no concern of undercooked apples or over cooked crust! I made 4 small individual pies this time with this recipe

Steps

2 mins

1

Place apples and lemon juice and sugar on a bowl and toss to coat
2

Heat butter in a large skillet add apples and cook stirring often until just softened but holding their shape, add flour, cinnamon and salt cook just until blended transfer to a bowl and chill. This can be done up to 2 days in advance
3

Make crumb topping This is best also made in advance and chilled and added cold before baking.
4

Melt butter in microwave just until warm in a large bowl, add flour light brown sugar, papple pie spice and toffee chips combine with a fork until just crumbly
5

PREHEAT OVEN TO 425. The recipe as written us for 1 9 inch pie. I also make 4 individual pies with this recipe using tart pans. The picture above is made with tart pans. Either way is good!
6

Spoon apple filling into pie shell, top evenly with crumb topping place on baking sheet and bake 30 to 40 minutes until golden and bubbling
7

Cool on rack
8

Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
9

This way of cooking the filling before baking takes all the quess work out of undercooking the apples or overcooking the crust, when the crust is golden the pie is perfect! Also you can prep the apples and topping up to 2 days in advance and just put it in your pie crust and have fresh warm pie in minutes!!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
