Streusel Topping
Combine all the topping ingredients to form a crumbly mixture. You can either use a pastry cutter, a fork, your hands or a food processor to cut in the butter.*
¾ c flour, ¾ c brown sugar, ½ c white sugar, ¼ c quick oats, ¾ c butter, 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Top apples with streusel.
Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F and then reduce heat to 350° and bake for an additional 45-50 minutes, or until apples are cooked all the way through.
Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
Tips and Tricks
*I used six ambrosia apples which made this pie really tall. Using four apples will taste just as good but won’t be as tall. You can also use any of your favorite baking apples for this recipe.
To cut in the butter I recommend using a pastry cutter like this (affiliate) or if you have a food processor that is the easiest.
I always like to put a rimmed baking sheet under the pie to catch any drippings.
