This apple crumb pie is a warm and comforting dessert with a buttery, crumbly topping paired with sweet, spiced apples. Perfect for any occasion, it’s easy to make and guaranteed to impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6–7 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust (9-inch)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place a rack in the center.
  2. Peel, core, and slice the apples thinly. Place them in a large mixing bowl and toss with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice until evenly coated.
  3. If using homemade pie dough, roll it out to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Gently press it into the dish and trim any excess around the edges.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to blend until you have coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the apple filling, ensuring all the apples are covered.
  7. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are bubbling.
  8. Allow the pie to cool for at least 1 hour before slicing.

Notes

[‘Choose the right apples for the best flavor and texture. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn are great options.’, ‘Use cold butter for the crumb topping to achieve the perfect texture.’, ‘Avoid overmixing the crumb topping to keep it light and crumbly.’, ‘Use a pie shield or aluminum foil to protect the crust from burning.’, ‘Let the pie cool for at least an hour to allow the filling to set properly.’]
