Using an apple peeler and corer makes this process so quick!

One your apples are sliced, immediately pour your sauce mixture over top of the apples, stirring to coat completely.
Place your apples into your prepared pie crust and immediately place into the oven.
If you haven't yet, prep your crumb topping now!
Bake at 425 for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 15 minutes.
At this point, pull your pie out of the oven and top it with the crumb topping. Rotate the pie and put it back in the oven for 30 minutes.1 recipe for crumb topping for pie
Pull pie out of the oven and allow it to cool completely before slicing into it. If cut into before cooling, it will likely appear soupy. Once it cools, it should set up wonderfully, giving you a decadent pie with an amazing saucy filling.
