Ingredients

• 12 sheets graham crackers
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or similar baking apples)
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1.5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0 whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.

Step 3

Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave-safe dish.

Step 4

In a mixing bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and granulated sugar. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and resemble wet sand.

Step 5

Press the graham cracker mixture firmly and evenly into the bottom and sides of a 9-inch pie dish to form the crust.

Step 6

Bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while preparing the filling.

Step 7

Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.

Step 8

In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, flour, lemon juice, water, and vanilla extract. Toss to evenly coat the apples.

Step 9

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading it out evenly.

Step 10

Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning of the crust. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
