Notes

For a more rustic look, you can gently press the crumbled dough together to form larger clumps before placing it on top of the pie.
If the crust starts to brown too quickly during baking, loosely tent a piece of foil over the pie to prevent burning.
Experiment with different fruit fillings, such as cherry or peach, for a fun twist on this recipe.
Serve the pie warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra decadent treat.
This pie can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Simply reheat in the oven before serving for a quick and delicious dessert option.
