How to make a Crumb Topping for Pies!
An easy and great pie topping recipe!
If you like fruit pies, but don't like a lot of dough, then this simple crumb topping makes a great tasting, better looking alternative. And it is easier and faster to make than a dough topping.
Ingredients and Equipment
(per 9 - 10 inch
deep dish pie)
- 1/4 cup sugar (OR 1/8 cup sugar and 1/8 cup Stevia, my preference (or if you prefer, Splenda))
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine - room temperature or melted
Step 1 - Make and add your topping
Just mix
- 1/4 cup sugar (OR 1/8 cup sugar and 1/8 cup Stevia, my preference (or if you prefer, Splenda))
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine (at room temperature or melted)
together in a small bowl.
Mix together until you get small crumbs (1/8 inch or smaller. ) If it sticks together too much to make crumbs, add a small amount more of flour and sugar (1 part sugar to 2 parts flour) until it becomes crumbly!
Step 2 - Sprinkle it over the pie
Tips
- If you use frozen berries, it helps to sprinkle 3 tablespoons of corn starch in pie crust/pan just before you add the blueberries! That helps to suck up any additional liquid, so the pie won't be runny.
