Ingredients
Scale
- For the Crust:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into pieces
- 6–8 tablespoons ice water
- For the Filling:
- 8 cups thinly sliced apples (about 8 medium apples)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and sugar. Add chilled butter and cut it into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer to the pie plate and trim the edges.
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and lemon juice. Pour into the prepared crust.
- Make the streusel: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle over the apple filling.
- Roll out the second disk of dough and cut into strips for a lattice top, or simply cover with the second crust and seal the edges.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. If the edges brown too quickly, cover with foil.
- Cool on a wire rack before serving.
Notes
Allow the pie to cool completely for the best texture. Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
