Categories     Dessert     Pie

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 frozen pie crust ((or homemade) )
1 cup flour
½ cup brown sugar (packed )
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter (chilled and cubed)
8 Granny Smith apples
⅓ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon lemon zest ((optional))
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F.
  • Combine all topping ingredients using a fork until completely mixed and crumbly.
  • Peel, core, and slice apples into thin slices (approximately ⅛ inch). Toss apple slices with sugar, flour, lemon juice, lemon zest (if using), cinnamon, & nutmeg.
  • Layer apple slices in pie shell (it will be really full) and pour any leftover juice over the apples. Top apple slices with topping and pat it down over the apples. Place pie pan on a cookie sheet (they tend to drip over if really full, this will save your oven).
  • Bake at 450°F for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350°F and bake an additional 45-55 minutes. (Poke the center of the pie to make sure the apples are soft all of the way through).
  • Serve warm or room temperature.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
7 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place rack in lowest position in oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees F ( 230 degrees C).
  • To Make Topping: Mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; cut in butter or margarine until mixture is moist and crumbly, and clumps together easily.
  • To Make Filling: Peel, core, and slice apples into approximately 1/8 inch slices. If you cut them too thick you'll have crunchy apples. In another bowl, toss cut up apples, white sugar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle in flour, and stir until apples are evenly coated.
  • Layer apple slices in pie shell. You will have a lot of apples, but they will shrink. Layer them higher in the middle. Pour left over juice from apple mixture over apples. Pat the brown sugar topping evenly over apples to make a top crust.
  • Place pie on cookie sheet in oven to catch juice droppings. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 45 minutes to one hour; bake until center of pie has no resistance. If top starts to get too dark, cover with piece of foil. Cool on wire rack before serving.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch salt
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup oats
Pinch salt
1 stick (4-ounces) unsalted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cardamom seeds, gently crushed to release oils

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make the Apple Filling:
  • In a small bowl, toss the apple slices with the lemon zest, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and salt, and set aside.
  • To make the Crumble Topping:
  • In another small bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats, and salt with a fork until uniform. In a baking dish, melt the butter in the microwave until about half melts, 10 to 15 seconds on high. Pour the butter into the flour mixture and incorporate with a fork. Leaving the excess butter in the baking dish, arrange the apple slices in the dish. Top with the flour-oat mixture. Bake until the apples are cooked through and the topping is golden, about 45 minutes.
  • To make the Vanilla-Cardamom Caramel Sauce:
  • In a medium-heavy saucepan, mix the water and sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Allow the mixture to boil, without stirring. Cook's Note: Swirl the pan, if needed. Boil until the sugar mixture is pale golden brown, approximately 7 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, and stirring vigorously add the butter and cream. The mixture will bubble. Add the cardamom seeds and stir to incorporate. Return the pan to the heat and bring the mixture to a boil and then remove from the heat and allow to cool a few minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract and strain the sauce before drizzling over the cobbler.

CRUNCHY CRUMB APPLE PIE



Crunchy Crumb Apple Pie image

This is a yummie alternative to an old favorite. The topping is sweet and the apples are a little tart. I posted this with a ready-to-bake pie crust, but I have found a homemade crust is always better! There are tons of apples in this pie but they cook down during baking. This is delicious topped with vanillia ice cream.

Tips:

  • To make sure your pie crust is flaky, be sure to use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly. Overworking the dough will make it tough.
  • If you don't have a pastry blender, you can use two knives to cut the butter into the flour.
  • If your apples are too tart, you can add a little bit of sugar to the filling.
  • Be sure to bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
  • Serve the pie with vanilla sauce or ice cream.
