Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 170 grams Unsalted butter (cold, diced)
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 60 milliliters Ice water
- 6 medium Apples (peeled, cored, sliced)
- 150 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 100 grams All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 80 grams Unsalted butter (for crumb topping)
- 100 grams Brown sugar (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
In a large bowl, mix 250 grams of flour and 50 grams of sugar. Add 170 grams of cold, diced butter and rub it into the flour mixture using your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Gradually add 60 milliliters of ice water, mixing gently until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, 150 grams of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of ground nutmeg, 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until the apples are evenly coated.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface, then transfer it to the pie dish. Trim the excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang, and crimp the edges decoratively.
Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust, spreading it evenly.
To make the crumb topping, combine 100 grams of flour, 80 grams of cold butter, 100 grams of brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Mix with your fingers until the mixture forms large crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
Place the pie on a baking tray to catch any drips, then bake for 15 minutes at 200°C (400°F). Reduce the temperature to 180°C (350°F) and bake for an additional 45 minutes, or until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
