Apple Pie is really one of America’s best inventions. Whether its a warm evening in September, a family favorite to top off Thanksgiving dinner, or an elegant dessert for a special dinner party, this easy homemade apple pie can hit the spot perfectly.
This recipe is different than an apple pie you will get at a restaurant or in the freezer at a grocery store. It’s made with tart granny smith apples, and a crumble topping. It is so juicy, it may not even keep its shape when you serve it, and it will leave your dinner guests asking to come back again.
I don’t know exactly where my mom got this recipe, but I’m pretty sure it was from an aunt who called the topping “don’t tells.” I’m not sure if she didn’t want people to know how much sugar and butter was in it, or if she wanted to keep it her secret ingredient, but it is what really makes this recipe stand out in front of other apple pies recipes.
Instead of another layer of pie crust on top, it is really more like, pie on the bottom and apple crisp on top. My mother in law has even tried it with oats in the topping. It makes the top of the pie sweet, crunchy and so delicious!

I love to use this Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer from The Pampered Chef: it makes apple pie making so much easier and faster.
You can also try this one: it’s about half the price of the Pampered Chef one and does the same things. And with over 1500 great reviews, you can’t go wrong.
We also love using granny smith apples because they are juicy and tart. The combination of the sweet pie filling with sugar and cinnamon, and the tart granny smith apple really seals the deal with this apple pie.
