Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 6 cups Granny Smith apples peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Crumb Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup light brown sugar packed
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons salted butter melted (see note)
- Vanilla ice cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edge using your fingers or a fork. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the apple slices, lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg until the apples are well coated.
- Place the apples into the pie crust and spread them to create a somewhat even top layer. Set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl make the crumb topping. Stir together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon until combined. Pour the melted butter into the bowl and stir everything together with a fork until it forms crumbles. Make sure all the butter moistens all the dry ingredients.
- Add the crumble on top of the apples. It seems like a lot of topping, but use it all.
- Cover the pie loosely with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden brown on top.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool completely before slicing, about 3-4 hours.
Notes
- You can use unsalted butter if you don't have salted butter. Be sure to add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the crumb topping dry ingredients before mixing in the butter.
- I used Granny Smith apples, but you can use any baking apple you prefer. We like Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, or Braeburn apples for this recipe too.
- If you don’t like nutmeg, you can leave it out. No need to substitute anything for it.
- Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds.
