Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 6 Large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour for filling
- 0.5 cups Rolled oats
- 0.33 cups All-purpose flour for topping
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar for topping
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon for topping
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce for topping
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the crust, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. Add 0.25 cup of unsweetened applesauce and mix until crumbly.
Add 3 tablespoons of ice water to the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, trimming and fluting the edges as desired. Set aside.
For the filling, peel, core, and slice 6 large apples into thin slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
Mix 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl. Add this mixture to the apples and toss until evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture over the pie crust.
To make the crumb topping, combine 0.5 cup rolled oats, 0.33 cup all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples in the pie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. You may need to cover the edges with foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.
Once baked, let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
