Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 0.5 cup ice water
For the Filling
  • 6 cups apples, peeled, cored, and sliced e.g., Honeycrisp, Gala, or Fuji
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crumble Topping
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 0.5 cup rolled oats

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Peeler
  • Knife
  • Measuring cups
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Make the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the rolled oats.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to the 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges.
  5. Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, loosely tent the pie with aluminum foil.
  8. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
