Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 2 cups Apple pie filling (or preferred filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.
Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Reserve 3/4 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping and set aside.
To the remaining crumb mixture, add the egg yolk and milk. Mix until it comes together into a dough.
Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Spread your chosen pie filling (e.g., apple pie filling) evenly over the crust.
To the reserved crumb mixture, add the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pie filling.
Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
