If you want a different type of apple pie recipe, consider making crumb-top apple pie, which has a sweeter crumb topping. You can use red delicious apples for your crumb-top apple pie recipe or use a different type of cooking apples, like gala. You also can top your finished pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Add 1 tsp. of cinnamon, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup of sugar to a small bowl and blend the ingredients well with a spoon.

Step 3

Pour the mixture over the apple slices in the large bowl, spreading it evenly so that all of the apples are coated.

Step 4

Add the apples with flour mixtures into a frozen pie shell. Spread the apples in the pie crust so that they are evenly distributed.
