Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 recipe for 9-inch pie crust
  • 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 3/4 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, melted
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges as desired.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust. Drizzle the melted butter over the apples.
  5. In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  6. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
  8. To prevent a soggy bottom crust, you can place the pie on a baking sheet.
  9. 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 the pie with aluminum foil.
  10. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set.
  11. For make-ahead convenience, you can assemble the pie completely, cover it tightly, and freeze it for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding an additional 15-20 minutes to the baking time.

Notes

  • For a crispier crumble, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the topping mixture.
  • If your apples are very tart, you may want to increase the sugar slightly.
  • Ensure your butter for the crumble topping is cold for the best texture.
