Apple Crumble Pie

A Classic Thanksgiving Dessert Made Easy

Few desserts capture the warmth of Thanksgiving like a homemade Apple Crumble Pie. With a buttery crust, tender cinnamon-spiced apples, and a golden oat topping, this pie brings all the comfort of a classic holiday dessert with a fraction of the effort.

Why This Recipe Works

The convection bake setting on the TSO-488GB gives the pie a flaky crust and evenly browned crumble topping. A touch of steam assist during baking helps keep the apple filling soft and juicy, so every bite is perfectly balanced.

Ingredients

For the filling:

• 5 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

For the crumble topping:

• ½ cup old-fashioned oats
• ½ cup flour
• ⅓ cup brown sugar
• ¼ cup butter, cold and cubed
• Pinch of salt

For the crust:

• 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

Directions

1. Preheat your Whynter TSO-488GB to 350°F on the convection bake setting.
2. In a bowl, combine the apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
3. Roll out and place the pie crust into a pie dish that fits inside the oven. Fill with the apple mixture.
4. In another bowl, mix oats, flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
5. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, using the steam assist function for the first 10 minutes to help the apples soften without drying out.
6. Bake until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling around the edges.
7. Let the pie cool slightly before serving.

Hosting Tip: Bake your Apple Crumble Pie in advance and reheat it just before serving using the steam assist feature. It refreshes the crust and keeps the filling moist without overbaking.
