I've been wanting to bake apple pie with crumb topping coz it's my absolute favorite and I'm so glad that I stumbled upon this recipe!! This is delicious! I used Granny Smith apples and added walnuts to the filling but to also add more textural appeal to the crumb topping, I mixed around 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts! I love the extra crunch it gives to the topping! I also followed the suggestion of sprinkling the bottom of the crust with flour which helps prevent the juices from making the crust soggy. I also initially thought that 6 cups of apples would be a bit too much for a 9 inch crust as it made the pie mound so high. But as the apple pie bakes, the mound became smaller because the apples have cooked inside already. When I removed the foil cover after the initial 25 mins I had to lower my oven temperature to around 350-325 because I felt that the heat was too much and would char the topping before the next 25 mins was over (which was already starting to happen around the edges). I think the method suggested by the author is relative to the oven of the baker.

Really delicious and super simple to make! I had to sift the Bisquick to avoid lumps and I added 1/2 tsp of banana extract to enhance the banana flavor.

It's good but very sweet. Since the condensed milk is already high in sugar, I suggest that you lessen the white sugar required in the recipe.
