*Saving Dollars and Sense Tip: If you have an abundance of apples this fall, make up a bunch of apple pie filling to freeze for a quick and easy dessert throughout the winter.
Portion it out so that each freezer bag has just enough for one pie.
Then all you’ll have to do is make the pie shell, dump the bag, bake and add streusel topping.

Flatten to about 1/2″ with a rolling pin.
Freeze for at least 20 minutes.
Combine dry streusel ingredients in a large bowl and whisk together.

Crumble so pieces are no larger than pea sized.
Refrigerate until needed.
Roll out pie crust on a floured surface and place in pie pan.
