Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Crust:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 cup ice water
  • For the Filling:
  • 6-8 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (a mix of varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp is great)
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, flatten each half into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, oats (if using), cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
  4. Assemble the pie: On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disc of dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
  5. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the apple filling.
  7. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake for 20 minutes.
  8. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.
  9. Cool: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly.

Notes

  • For an extra golden crust, you can brush the edges with an egg wash before baking.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful treat.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of cardamom to the apple filling for a different flavor dimension.
