Ingredients:

Crust:

  • 1 single pie crust (store-bought or homemade)

Apple Filling:

  • 6 cups apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Crumble Topping:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the crust: Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired. Place the crust in the fridge to chill while you prepare the filling.
  3. Make the apple filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the apples are evenly coated.
  4. Prepare the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, mix the melted butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until it forms a crumbly texture.
  5. Assemble the pie: Pour the apple filling into the chilled pie crust. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  6. Bake the pie: Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the pie to cool for at least an hour before serving to let the filling set. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired.

Conclusion:

This Apple Crumble Pie is a comforting, flavorful dessert that’s perfect for any occasion. The tartness of the apples paired with the buttery crumble topping makes it a delightful treat. Enjoy the cozy flavors of fall in each bite and serve it warm for an extra-special dessert experience!
