Apple Crumb Pie

Autumn is my favourite season of them all. Back home i spent many a September heading out to upstate New York to pick apples and other seasonal fruit on the family run farms we frequented every year.  I have been known to complain about the lack of decent foods here compared to the US but the UK wins when it comes to Apples, they have a crisper bite and their texture is perfect for baking. 

We now have made it our Family tradition every year to pick fresh apples at the local orchard in the Cambridgeshire village where Paul grew up. This year we made this delicious Apple Crumble Pie - a mix of both traditional pie bottom and crumble top - perfect with vanilla bean ice cream.
