How to Make Breakfast Apple Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Crush 1 ½ cups of cornflakes into coarse crumbs. Gently press into a 9-inch pie crust.
  3. Peel, core, and thinly slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Toss gently with ¼ cup maple syrup.
  4. Arrange apple slices over the cornflake crust.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apples.
  8. Bake for 10 minutes at 450°F (232°C), then reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C) and bake for another 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
