Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 large Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt to the apples. Toss well to combine until the apples are evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, arranging the apples in an even layer.
In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the crumb topping. Combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples, ensuring all the fruit is covered.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 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 on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect finish.
