Ingredients

• 1 9-inch Unbaked pie crust
• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (packed, for crumb topping)
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Sprinkle this mixture over the sliced apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 4

Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

To make the crumb topping, combine brown sugar and 3/4 cup of flour in a medium bowl. Add the cold, cubed butter and vanilla extract.

Step 6

Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the mixture until crumbs form. The crumbs should be pea-sized with a mix of fine and larger pieces.

Step 7

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples, gently pressing down to adhere it to the fruit.

Step 8

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 9

If the crumb topping begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

Step 10

Let the pie cool slightly before serving. Enjoy it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or at room temperature!
