Pie Crust

Crumble Topping

Method

Making the Pie Crust

1

Prepare the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

2

Incorporate Butter

Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add it to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

3

Add Ice Water

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Do not overmix.

4

Chill the Dough

Form the dough into a disc, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preparing the Apple Filling

5

Mix the Apples

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are well coated.

Making the Crumble Topping

6

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, and ground cinnamon.

7

Add Melted Butter

Pour the melted butter into the dry mixture and stir until crumbly.

Assembling and Baking the Pie

8

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

9

Roll Out Pie Crust

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled pie dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough into the dish, trimming any excess.

10

Fill with Apples

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

11

Top with Crumble

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.

12

Bake the Pie

Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

13

Cool and Serve

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
