Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets graham crackers
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or similar baking apples)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish.
In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.
Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.
Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, flour, lemon juice, water, and vanilla extract. Toss to evenly coat the apples.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning of the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
