Ingredients:
For the Cinnamon Apple Crumble Pie Crust:
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 3-4 tablespoons ice water
For the Apple Filling:
- 6 cups peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium-sized apples)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- A pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Crumble Topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Instructions:
For the Cinnamon Apple Crumble Pie Crust:
- In a food processor, combine the flour and salt.
- Add the cold, cubed butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Slowly add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough starts to come together.
- Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Crimp the edges and set aside.
For the Apple Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
For the Crumble Topping:
- In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the melted butter over the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
Baking:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, and the filling is bubbling.
- If the edges of the crust start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
