Ingredients

• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 200 grams Granulated sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 70 grams Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 6 Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 20 grams Cornstarch
• 1 Pie crust (prepared or homemade)
• 50 grams Rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Peel, core, and slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices, then place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Let sit while you prepare the crumb topping.

Step 4

In a separate mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and a pinch of salt. Add the unsalted butter (cut into small cubes) to the mixture.

Step 5

Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to incorporate the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in vanilla extract.

Step 6

Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.

Step 7

Fill the pie shell with the apple mixture, arranging it evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the apples, ensuring an even layer.

Step 9

Place the pie on the center oven rack and bake for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, check to see if the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling; if not, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 1 hour before serving to let the filling set.

Step 11

Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
