Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
- 3 tablespoons ice water
- 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
To make the pie crust, combine 1.5 cups flour, 0.25 cups granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.
Add 0.5 cups of cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add 3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Roll out the chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough, and crimp the edges.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 0.5 cups brown sugar, 0.25 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly.
To make the crumble topping, mix 1 cup flour, 0.5 cups brown sugar, 0.5 cups melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate apple crumble pie experience!
