Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pack Refrigerated pie crust
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and sliced
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll and fit the refrigerated pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan. Crimp or trim the edges as needed, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and salt. Toss well to coat the apple slices evenly, then set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add brown sugar, stirring constantly until fully dissolved, about 2-3 minutes.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring carefully to ensure it doesn’t splatter. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove the pan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract to complete the butterscotch sauce.
Pour half of the butterscotch sauce over the prepared apple filling and stir gently to coat. Set the remaining butterscotch sauce aside for later use.
Spoon the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, and chopped nuts. Mix well, then cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling in the pie.
Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any spills) and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set.
Once cooled, drizzle the reserved butterscotch sauce over the top before serving. Slice and enjoy your Butterscotch Crumb Apple Pie!
