Equipment
- Pie plate
- Food processor or pastry blender
Ingredients
- 1 whole pie crust
Apple Filling
- 6 cups apples peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thin
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 3 tablespoons flour
- ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
- ¼ teaspoon cloves
Crumb Topping
- ½ cup flour
- ¾ cup butter 1½ sticks
- 1 cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup quick oats
Instructions
- Prepare oven and crust. Preheat the oven to 375 and prepare a pie plate by lining it with a single pie crust. Line a spare baking sheet with aluminum foil and place it on the lower rack to catch drips. Line pie dish with one pie crust.
- Make the apple filling. Combine the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice in a large mixing bowl.
- Make the crumb topping. Cut the flour into the butter using a pastry blender or two knives. Add the brown sugar, and oats. Stir gently to combine.
- Assemble the pie. Add apples to pie plate lined with pie crust. Press crumb topping on top.
- Bake for 50 minutes. If the crust on the edges over-brown, cover it with an aluminum foil shield. Allow the pie to cool at least one hour before serving.
Notes
If you don't like allspice or cloves, feel free to leave them out.
Granny smith apples are our favorite pie apple, but anything that holds its shape when baked is a good choice. Red Rome, Winesap, and Jonagold are delicious.
