Ingredients
Scale
1 recipe for 9-inch pie crust
6 medium baking apples (like Honeycrisp, Gala, or Granny Smith)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into cubes
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges.
Peel, core, and slice the apples.
In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with granulated sugar, brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt for the crumble topping.
Cut in the cold butter cubes using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the melted butter.
Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.
Let the pie cool for at least 2-3 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
For the best flavor and texture, use a mix of sweet and tart apples.
You can make the pie crust and crumble topping ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator.
Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or caramel sauce.
This pie can be made a day ahead and reheated gently in a 300°F (150°C) oven for about 15-20 minutes.
