How to Make Breakfast Apple Pie

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
Crush 1 ½ cups of cornflakes into coarse crumbs. Gently press into a 9-inch pie crust.
Peel, core, and thinly slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Toss gently with ¼ cup maple syrup.
Arrange apple slices over the cornflake crust.
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.
Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apples.
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.
Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
