Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (cold, cubed)
• 3 tablespoons ice water
• 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, thinly sliced)
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.25 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups brown sugar
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the pie crust, combine 1.5 cups flour, 0.25 cups granulated sugar, and 0.5 teaspoons salt in a large bowl.

Step 3

Add 0.5 cups of cold, cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or two forks until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add 3 tablespoons of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 6

Roll out the chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough, and crimp the edges.

Step 7

In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, 0.5 cups brown sugar, 0.25 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.

Step 8

Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

To make the crumble topping, mix 1 cup flour, 0.5 cups brown sugar, 0.5 cups melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a medium bowl. Stir until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the filling to set.

Step 13

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate apple crumble pie experience!
