So, I’m not much for making pie crusts. I’m just not very good with them. I need to take some lessons from my mom because she makes a mean pie crust.
Until then, though, I’m sharing Apple Crumb Pie recipe, and I hope you’ll forgive me for not sharing a pie crust recipe along with it.
Since I’m not a huge pie crust person, I prefer pies with non-crust toppings, like this brown sugar crumb topping. It gives this pie kind of an apple crisp like quality.
I mix in a little Greek yogurt into the filling. If you’d ever had a sour cream apple pie, the Greek yogurt gives it that same creamy tartness that balances out the sweetness in the pie.

oh goodness I think I like pies with crumb topping better anyway. I’ve never had an apple pie with sour cream or greek yogurt mixed in but I’m very intrigued on that taste. This pie is stunning thanks for sharing!
