APPLE CRUMBLE PIE

Deep dish apple crumble pie is heavy on the crumble topping!

Categories     Pie

Time 6h50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

Homemade Pie Crust (recipe makes 2 crusts; you can halve or freeze the 2nd half)
8-10 cups apple slices (1/4-inch slices, see note)
2 Tablespoons (30ml) lemon juice
1/4 cup (31g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup (100g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup (94g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
3/4 cup (95g) chopped walnuts
1/3 (75g) cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

Steps:

  • Prepare my pie crust recipe through step 5.
  • In a large bowl using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir the apples, lemon juice, flour, cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla extract together until thoroughly combined. Set filling aside as the oven preheats; this time allows the apples to begin letting off their juice.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C).
  • On a floured work surface, roll out one of the discs of chilled dough (if you made the entire pie dough recipe- you can freeze the other half of the dough at this time). Turn the dough about a quarter turn after every few rolls until you have a circle 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place the dough into a 9×2 inch pie dish. Tuck it in with your fingers, making sure it is smooth. Spoon the apple filling into the crust, leaving some of the liquid in the bowl- don't want all that in the pie. Use a small paring knife to trim excess dough off the edges. Flute the edges.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and walnuts. Using a rubber spatula, stir in the butter. The crumble topping will be thick and crumbly. Sprinkle over apples.
  • Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Keeping the pie in the oven, turn the temperature down to 375°F (190°C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes. After the first 20 minutes of bake time, I place a pie crust shield on top of the pie to prevent the edges from browning too quickly.
  • Allow the pie to cool for 3 full hours at room temperature before serving. This time allows the filling to thicken up. Serve with vanilla ice cream if desired. Cover pie leftovers tightly and store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

CINNAMON CRUMBLE-TOP APPLE PIE



Cinnamon Crumble-Top Apple Pie image

This is a high apple pie with a thick layer of delicious topping, this pie is just wonderful! I have even added in some cranberries with the apples, if you are adding in cranberries, then reduce the apples slightly. Use only Granny Smith apples for this pie, and other kind will become mushy when baked.

CLASSIC APPLE CRUMB PIE

Categories     dessert

Time 3h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup ice water, plus more if needed
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces, at room temperature
3 pounds mixed apples (such as Golden Delicious, Granny Smith and Gala), peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make the crust: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl. Rub the butter pieces into the flour using your fingers until pea-size pieces form. Drizzle in the vinegar and ice water; stir gently with a fork to combine. If the dough doesn't hold together when you squeeze it, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk; wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then tuck the overhanging dough under itself; crimp the edges with a fork. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • Meanwhile, make the crumb topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Rub the butter into the mixture with your fingers until no longer floury and crumbs form. Freeze until ready to use.
  • Make the filling: Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 400˚. Mix the apples, melted butter, both sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Spoon the filling into the chilled pie crust. Pat the crumb mixture on top.
  • Bake the pie on the hot baking sheet until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ and bake until the apples are completely soft when pierced with a paring knife, 60 to 80 more minutes. (If the topping is getting too dark, cover loosely with foil.) Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.
