Add granulated sugar, flour and cinnamon; toss to coat. Spoon over crumb layer in crust; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture.

I've made this recipe twice now and both times it has been delicious! I will say, I added more cinnamon and a tad more sugar for extra flavor. Also, I only used apples the second time ( a total of four medium) and was still great! A word of advice, if you want a lot of crumb mixture on top (which is so yummy) then use less than half on the bottom, and more on top. Or just make extra crumbs, either way, a winner!

Absolutely amazing pie! 8 firefighters all raved over it, made 2 for thanksgiving and everyone loved it. I used more apples and more cinnamon, also made way more crumb topping and everyone loved it. My mom has requested I make it for every holiday moving forward. Woohoo!!

Good! A bit sweet for my taste, but everyone else really liked it. Next time I would add more apples and/or pears.

This is delish! I substituted splenda brown sugar, mostly splenda for the granulated sugar, reduced fat cream cheese and light cool whip. Couldn't find reduced fat nilla wafers but will try that and fat free cream cheese next time. The apple/pear mix is so good and sets up nicely. Love the cream cheese layer and the crumbs. My house smelled wonderful all day after baking this..everyone loved it. I will definitely make apple pear crumble pie for Thanksgiving it's that good!
