Tips for Making the Best Apple Pie with Pecan Streusel
- Choose the right apples. For best flavor and texture, use a blend of tart and sweet apples, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Pink Lady.
- Peel and slice the apples evenly. This will help them cook evenly in the pie.
- Don't overcrowd the pie crust. Leave some space between the apples so they can release their juices and steam.
- Use a flavorful streusel topping. The pecan streusel topping in this recipe is the perfect combination of sweet, crunchy, and nutty.
- Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This should take about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
- Let the pie cool before slicing. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out.
Conclusion
This apple pie with pecan streusel is the perfect dessert for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. The flaky crust, sweet and tart apples, and crunchy pecan streusel topping are a combination that's hard to resist. So next time you're looking for a delicious and impressive dessert, give this apple pie a try.
