Note

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven for 10 minutes to restore crispness.

For a vegan version, ensure your pie crust is vegan and use a plant-based butter substitute for the crumble topping.

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a richer dessert experience.

Firm apple varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best as they hold their shape during baking.
