Brown sugar
Butter, cold and cubed
Margarine or neutral vegetable shortening, cold
Ground cinnamon (for topping mix)

Granulated sugar
All-purpose flour

Evaporated milk
Ready-made pie crust or pre-prepared pie base

Step-by-Step Method

6-step method
01

Preheat and prep the pie base

Heat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Fit the pie crust into your pan and tidy the edges so it bakes evenly.

02

Mix the crumb topping

Stir together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the cold butter and shortening, then rub it in with your fingertips until you get a mix of small and chunky crumbs. Chill while you prep the filling.

03

Make the apple filling

Toss sliced apples with lemon juice. Sprinkle in sugar, flour, and cinnamon, then mix until the slices are lightly coated. Drizzle in the evaporated milk and fold gently.

04

Fill the crust

Spoon the apple mixture into the pie base and level the top. Don’t press it down too hard—keep it a bit loose so it bakes through.

05

Add the crunchy topping

Scatter the chilled crumb topping evenly over the apples. Leaving a few bigger bits gives you a nicer crunch.

06

Bake and let it set

Bake for 55 minutes, until the top is golden and the apples are tender. Rest for 15–20 minutes before slicing so the filling thickens up a bit.
