How to Make 3 Toppings For Apple Pie
- **Streusel Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle evenly over the top of your baked apple pie.
- **Crumble Topping:** In a separate bowl, mix together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, a pinch of salt, and 1/3 cup (2/3 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use a fork or your fingers to combine until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the top of your baked apple pie.
- **Optional Pecan Topping (3rd topping):** Toast 1/2 cup pecan halves in a dry skillet over medium heat until fragrant (about 3-5 minutes). Sprinkle over the pie for added crunch and flavor.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
