Ingredients
Scale
- For the crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3–4 tbsp ice water
- For the filling:
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup chopped toasted pecans
- For the crumble topping:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- To make the crust, combine flour and salt in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water 1 tbsp at a time until dough comes together. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out chilled dough and fit into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and flute the edges. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss apple slices with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Stir in toasted pecans. Pour into the prepared pie crust.
- For the crumble topping, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Cover edges with foil if they brown too quickly.
- Cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow filling to set.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for more flavor depth.
- Can be made a day in advance and served at room temperature or slightly warmed.
- Top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a classic finish.
