WATCH: How to Make an Apple Crumble Pie

The great thing about this pie is that you don't have to be neat or tidy when you make it: use your hands to put the crumble together, toss the apples in lemon juice and sugar, then pop the pie into the oven. Digging into these layers will 100% be messy-but that's the whole point of making this easy, fuss-free, no-frills apple crumble pie.

You can also experiment with additional flavors and ingredients-try spicing those apples with cloves, cardamom, and nutmeg, or throw in a handful of raisins and walnuts into the filling for more sweetness and crunch. Just don't forget to add a dollop of cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
