Apple Crumb Pie in the Apple

These perfect sized apple crumb pies are so cute! Instead of the traditional pie in the pie tin, these little cutie-pies are baked in the apple. They are the perfect size for a snack or a personal dessert. The pies are quick and easy especially since the crust is a delicious crumb topping with brown sugar and cinnamon. 

Mix some up for your next dessert....these Apple Crumb Pies in the Apple are sure to delight!

For each medium apple's filling, you will need:

• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1/2 tablespoon all purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

For each medium apple's topping, you will need:

• 1 1/4 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 tablepoon brown sugar
• pinch of  cinnamon
• pinch of nutmeg
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 tablespoon butter, melted

Wash the apple you are using and cut off a lid from each one. Use a small sharp knife and a small spoon, carve the apple to form a bowl. Chop up the innards of the apple for the filling. Dice the lid as well. 

To make sure the apple "crust" (outside of the apple) doesn't get dark, add a few drops of lemon juice.

Mix all of the ingredients of the filling together. Add to the diced/chopped apple pieces and toss with a spoon. Pour the filling into the carved apple. 

Mix all of the ingredients of the topping together and sprinkle onto the top of the filling. Bake at 370 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 10 minutes.
