My store-bought "unroll it and use it" pie crust disentegrated when I tried to line my pie plate. Need a simple apple crumble or cobbler recipe.

Nancy, it's a complete nightmare! I've never had this happen before to one of these crusts. But, that Apple Coriander Crumble recipe you suggested looks very interesting. I think I'll try it. Thanks for the suggestion and enjoy your Thanksgiving!

Here's one with apples and cranberries:

And, if you want no more cranberries, here's an unusually spiced apple coriander crumble:

That said, you can still patch your pie crust and bake it...

I did try, but every fold had separated and I couldn't seem to pinch it together enough to get it to seal and still seal up the sides. It must have been extremely old or something.

OK, Arkansas Traveler, I understand your store-bought crust has really bit the dust.
Often they're salvageable (spelling?), but this one clearly not.
Good luck with your crumble/crisp and have a lovely Thanksgiving.

Don't tell anyone but I might like crumbles and cobblers more than pie. Here are instructions for how to make a crisp or crumble using what you've got on hand:

Baked apples are another really simple dessert option:
