Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (cold and cubed)
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 large Egg yolk
• 2 cups Apple pie filling (or preferred filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold, cubed butter into the dry mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Reserve 3/4 cup of the crumb mixture for the topping and set aside.

Step 5

To the remaining crumb mixture, add the egg yolk and milk. Mix until it comes together into a dough.

Step 6

Press the dough evenly into a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 7

Spread your chosen pie filling (e.g., apple pie filling) evenly over the crust.

Step 8

To the reserved crumb mixture, add the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Mix well and sprinkle this mixture evenly over the pie filling.

Step 9

Place the pie on the middle rack of your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving.
