"A friend made this for us after I had my baby girl. I'm not much of a pie person, but this was great! I think it is the topping that makes it special. Enjoy!"

Instead of semolina I use crunchy muesli. (Just on the bottom below the apples)

Tweaks

I used almond flour in place of the white flour in the crumb topping. it added a sweet and nutty taste and it was absolutely delicious. also after the pie cooled I dusted it with confectioners sugar before serving. it added an extra special touch.
