WATCH: How to Make an Apple Crumble Pie
Serve this pie with large dollops of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream on top!
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!

3 cups rolled oats
2 cups all-purpose flour
