Apple Crumb Pie

This is one of my ALL TIME favorite desserts! I LOVE apples!! This pie gets made very often in the fall after we go apple picking, but I often make it year round because it is so good! It tastes amazing when it is hot out of the oven, with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream, and whipped cream!

My sister had been asking for pie the other day, she offered to peel the apples, and head to the store for some vanilla ice cream. That sealed the deal so while she was out I whipped up this delicious apple crumb pie.
