Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Unbleached all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 6 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• 0.75 cups Brown sugar, packed
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 0.75 cups Rolled oats
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the pie crust, in a large bowl, mix 2.5 cups of flour, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.

Step 3

Add 1.25 cups of cubed cold butter into the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add 6 tablespoons of ice water, mixing just until the dough holds together without being too sticky. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 5

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming the excess to 1 inch beyond the edge of the plate. Fold under and crimp the edges.

Step 6

For the apple filling, in a bowl, combine the apple slices, 0.75 cups of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of flour, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Toss the mixture to coat apples.

Step 7

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

Step 8

To prepare the crumble topping, in another bowl, mix 0.75 cups of rolled oats, 0.5 cups of brown sugar, and 0.5 cups of flour.

Step 9

Add 0.5 cups of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the oat mixture. Stir to combine until crumbly.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your nut-free apple crumble pie warm or at room temperature.
