Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for dough)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 medium Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled and thinly sliced)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar (for filling)
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted, for filling)
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar (for crumb topping)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (softened, for crumb topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the pie crust, combine the flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed butter and cut it into the dry ingredients using a pastry cutter or your hands until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer the dough to the dish, trim any excess, and crimp the edges. Set aside.

Step 5

In a large bowl, prepare the filling by combining the sliced apples, brown sugar, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and melted butter. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.

Step 6

Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

For the crumb topping, mix the flour and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Add the softened butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until the mixture forms crumbles.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.

Step 9

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips, and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the filling is bubbling and the topping is golden brown.

Step 10

Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
