Apple season means apples and apples mean apple pie. This is no humble apple pie – this is apple crumb pie. We’ve cast off the lattice top and gone for a big change – a crumb topping that adds a dimension of sugary, buttery, golden-brown goodness to further enhance the apple of your choice. This has become the favorite apple pie of many unwary tasters after the first bite. On top of that, we’ve chopped the apples instead of slicing them to make it easier to eat. That’s a tedious task. Unless you have an Apple Mate. The Apple Mate peels, cores, and slices all in a few turns of a handle. After the apple is peeled, cored, and sliced all you have to do is run a knife down it a few times to cut it up into chunks. Much faster. Much easier. We have one more thing: a pie crust shield. Do you have a tendency to over-brown your outer crust? It’s a common problem. We have that covered too. No more dark edges and no more messing with aluminum foil. Simply place a pie crust shield over your pie. Now, without further ado, let’s get into how you can upgrade your apple pies into apple crumb pies.
