- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 cups Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar, packed
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cups Unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
- 0.75 cups All-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar, packed (for topping)
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the pie crust, combine 1.25 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoons of salt in a large bowl.
Cut in 0.5 cups of cold, diced butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add 3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough holds together when pressed.
Roll the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare the filling by combining 6 cups of thinly sliced apples, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 0.25 cups of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
Prepare the crumb topping by mixing 0.25 cups of melted butter, 0.75 cups of flour, 0.5 cups of brown sugar, 0.5 cups of rolled oats, and 0.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in a medium bowl. Use a fork to mix until crumbly.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pie crust into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie pan and trim the edges, leaving a slight overhang if needed.
Pour the apple filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Place the pie on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool to room temperature for about 2 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.
Enjoy your homemade Crunchy Crumb Apple Pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired!
