Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, mix 2 1/2 cups flour and salt. Cut in 1 cup cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough holds together. Press into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill for 15 minutes.
- In another bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat. Set aside.
- For the crumb topping, mix 1 cup flour and brown sugar. Cut in 1/2 cup cold butter until crumbly.
- Pour apple filling into the chilled crust. Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over the apples.
- Place pie on a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, until topping is golden and filling is bubbly. If topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
- Cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for best flavor.
- Chill the dough and butter well for a flaky crust.
- Let the pie cool completely to allow the filling to set.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
