Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
  • 3-4 tablespoons ice water

For the Apple Filling:

  • 6-7 medium-sized apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or a mix)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Crumble Topping:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • For the Crust: In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, and sugar. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim the excess dough and crimp the edges.
  • For the Apple Filling: Peel, core, and slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Pour the filling into the prepared crust.
  • For the Crumble Topping: In a medium bowl, mix together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the chilled butter until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apple filling.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling. If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  • Allow the pie to cool before serving. Enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Notes

  • For a firmer crust, blind bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding the apple filling.
  • Mixing apple varieties enhances flavor complexity.
  • Store leftover pie covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
