A classic dessert featuring spiced apples and a buttery crust, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into cubes)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 6-8 tablespoons ice water
  • 6-8 medium Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and sliced)
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pie Crust: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the cold butter cubes and blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough begins to come together. Avoid overhandling the dough. Divide the dough into two equal parts, shape them into disks, and wrap them in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Make the Apple Filling: In another bowl, combine the sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated and set aside.
  3. Roll Out the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out one disk of chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer it to a 9-inch pie pan. Pour the apple filling into the crust, ensuring even distribution.
  4. Prepare the Topping: In a bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, and flour. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture resembles crumbles. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apple filling.
  5. Bake the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pie for 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the edges brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least an hour before slicing. This helps the filling set.

Notes

Use cold ingredients for a flaky crust and avoid overworking the dough.
