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.

APPLE CRUMBLE PIE



Apple Crumble Pie image

Less intimidating to make than the traditional double-crust version, this apple pie gets topped with a crumbly, crunchy topping that settles nicely into the soft bubbly filling. Reducing the apples' cooking juices helps concentrate their flavor into a caramel-like toffee, which makes the pie that much more potent and sweet.

Time 6h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (see Cook's Note)
4 teaspoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
14 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, diced
1 large egg, lightly beaten with 2 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
3 pounds baking apples, such as Golden Delicious, Cortland or Mutsu
2/3 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • For the dough: Pulse the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a food processor until combined. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture resembles yellow cornmeal mixed with pea-sized bits of butter. Add the egg mixture and pulse until the dough just comes together. (If the dough is very dry, add up to 1 extra tablespoon cold water.) Remove the dough, gently pat it into a round, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, put the lemon juice in a medium bowl. Peel and core the apples; cut each in half, and cut each half into 4 wedges. Add the apples and brown sugar to the bowl with the lemon juice, and toss.
  • Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the sugared apples and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the apples soften and release most of their juices, about 7 minutes.
  • Strain the apples in a colander set over a medium bowl to catch all the juices. Shake the colander to extract as much liquid as possible. Return the juice to the skillet and simmer over medium heat until it has thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Toss the apples with the thickened juice, cinnamon, salt, cloves, ginger and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Set aside to cool completely. (The cooled filling can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 6 months.)
  • For the streusel topping: Whisk the flour, sugar and salt together in a medium bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the flour mixture with your fingers until it has been absorbed. Mix in the almonds.
  • To assemble and bake the pie: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and place a baking sheet on it. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Layer it between pieces of parchment or wax paper on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes.
  • Ease the dough round into a 9-inch pie pan. Fold and crimp the edges as desired. Add the filling, and spread it out to make an even layer. Squeeze handfuls of the streusel topping, and drop clumps of it on top of the filling to completely cover it.
  • Bake the pie on the preheated baking sheet until the crust and streusel are golden brown, about 1 hour. Let it cool on a cooling rack for at least 3 hours before serving. (The pie keeps well, covered, at room temperature for 24 hours or refrigerated for up to 4 days.)

  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the filling to set.
