Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 6 large Apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.25 cup Brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (for crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and salt to the apples. Toss well to combine until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, arranging the apples in an even layer.

Step 5

In a medium mixing bowl, prepare the crumb topping. Combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

Step 6

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and add it to the bowl. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until it forms coarse crumbs.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples, ensuring all the fruit is covered.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a perfect finish.
