Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Ice water
• 6 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons Whiskey
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for filling)
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar (for topping)
• 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened, for topping)
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the pie crust, combine 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour and 1/2 tsp salt in a large bowl. Cut in 1 cup of cold, cubed unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 3

Gradually add up to 1/2 cup of ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together but isn’t sticky. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4

While the dough chills, prepare the apple filling. In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 peeled, cored, and sliced Granny Smith apples with 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.

Step 5

Pour 3 tablespoons of whiskey over the apple mixture and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the apples and mix well to thicken the filling as it bakes.

Step 6

For the topping, combine 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 6 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour in a medium bowl. Use your hands or a fork to create a crumbly mixture.

Step 7

Roll out the chilled pie dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Carefully transfer the dough to the dish, trimming any excess overhang.

Step 8

Spoon the apple filling into the prepared crust, ensuring it's evenly distributed. Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apples.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
