Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
- 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
- 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed, for crumb topping)
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges if desired. Set aside.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the sliced apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.
To make the crumb topping, combine brown sugar and 3/4 cup of flour in a medium bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and vanilla extract.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until crumbs form. The crumbs should be pea-sized with a mix of fine and larger pieces.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples, gently pressing down to adhere it to the fruit.
Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
If the crumb topping begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or at room temperature!
