This Green Apple Crumble Pie is similar to Apple Crisp, but in pie form! This pie is made with Granny Smith apples, brown sugar, butter and plenty of spice!
Apple Crumble Pie is like an Apple Pie and an Apple Crisp combined together. If you are like me and don't have time to make a pie crust, especially a topping, this recipe is for you. I like to keep it simple so we are using store-bought pie crust. The rest of the recipe is all from scratch. Top this pie with ice cream and you have a desert out of this world.

Peel and slice apples thinkly. In a bowl, add the apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ½ c of flour, granulated sugar, and lemon juice. Mix together well then add into pie crust.

What I like the most about using green apples for this recipe is that they are great for baking. They don't become mushy or just fall apart, they are just right. About five green apples were used to create this recipe.
The pie crust used is a Pillsbury crust. For me, its the closest thing to homemade and saves so much time.
