1 cup white sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
2 tsp. pumpkin or apple pie spice

Cooking Tools
Le Crueset pie dish
Kitchen Aid Food Processor
1 Stainless mixing bowls
1 medium mixing bowl
Rolling pin
Parchment paper
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 Degrees F. Prepare pie dough, roll out to fit pie dish, Prepare crumble topping. Place all the filling ingredients in a mixing bowl and toss well until every piece of apple is coated.
Cook’s Notes: I give my sliced apple a vinegar or (lemon) & water bath to prevent apple from browning. Drain from water and dry completely before adding in ingredients. Place apple in the prepared pie dish and top with crumble, bake in the oven for 1 hour and 30 minutes. Remove apple pie from oven and let completely cool 5-6 hours so it has time to set up.
