Quick Notes: I fuckin love apple pie, and this Classic Apple Pie with Crumble Top recipe is definitely a crowd pleaser. The recipe itself is insanely simple, its the slicing that’s going to get ya. I highly recommend serving it with vanilla ice cream cuz that shit is fire.
Ingredients
- 1 crust, prepared- I buy frozen, but if you have a great recipe then go for it
- --TOPPING--
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup room temp butter
- --FILLING--
- 7 granny smith apples
- 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- dash of nutmeg
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Combine all topping ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl and stir until crumbly and combined.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices, like 1/4 inch thick. It''s a pain in the ass, but the thinner the better. I peel the apples first, then use an apple slicer to slice them originally - but then I use a paring knife to cut those pieces down even further.Â
- Toss the apples with the remaining filling ingredients.Â
- Pile on the crumb topping. Try not to pat it into place too much.Â
- Bake at 45 for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven temp to 250 and bake for an additional 45 minutes. Check that it's cooked through by poking a skewer or knife down the middle. it should be soft and go in easily.Â
- Cool on a wire rack until ready to eat. Serve warm or at room temperature.Â
