Ingredients

Scale

For the crust: 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
3–4 tbsp ice water
For the apple filling: 6 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
For the crumble topping: ¾ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup brown sugar
⅓ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
6 tbsp unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix flour and salt for the crust. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water gradually until dough forms. Roll out and press into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill while you prepare filling.
In a large bowl, toss apple slices with sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes.
In another bowl, mix crumble topping ingredients using a pastry cutter or fork until crumbly.
Pour apple filling into chilled pie crust. Top evenly with crumble mixture.
Place pie on a baking sheet and bake for 45–55 minutes, until topping is golden and filling is bubbling.
Let cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow filling to set.

Notes

Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to let the filling set.
Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
To prevent over-browning, tent with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking if needed.
Leftovers keep well covered at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days.
