Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 grams Unsalted butter
- 70 grams Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 20 grams Cornstarch
- 1 Pie crust (prepared or homemade)
- 50 grams Rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices, then place them in a large mixing bowl.
Toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let sit while you prepare the crumb topping.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Add the unsalted butter (cut into small cubes) to the mixture.
Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in vanilla extract.
Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
Fill the pie shell with the apple mixture, arranging it evenly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the apples, ensuring an even layer.
Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, check to see if the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling; if not, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to let the filling set.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
