Streusel topping

Assembly

1. 1

   Transfer the filling to the prepared pan, and gently press down with a spatula or the back of a spoon. Sprinkle evenly with the topping. (The topping typically clumps, so break it up into really small, itty bitty pieces as you go!) Very gently press the topping into the apples with your hands. Bake at 350°F for 55-65 minutes or until the apples are fork tender. Cool completely to room temperature; then refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving to allow the juices to fully thicken.
