8. *** I have yet to try this, but saw it for another apple pie recipe and I think it sounds delish!. Instead of using this crumble recipe use 1.5 cups crushed pecan sandie cookies; may need 2 cups and 4 TBL butter melted. Mix the butter with cookies and sprinkle on top and bake as directed above (same way you would bake with my current crumb topping.***.
