Ingredients for Apple Cinnamon Crumble Pie
- Unbaked 9 Inch Deep Dish Pie Pastry
- 6-8 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar + 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for filling) + 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for topping)
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- White Sugar
- Brown Sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
How to Make Apple Cinnamon Crumble Pie
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- If using a pie crust, prepare a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate and carefully fit the pastry into the plate, crimping the edges.
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with the cinnamon, sugar, flour, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
- For the crumble topping, combine flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and salt in a food processor. Pulse until combined.
- Cut in the cold butter using on/off pulses until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust (or baking dish if omitting the crust).
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Place the pie plate on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- Bake for 35 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
- Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C).
- Continue baking for another 30-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. The filling should be bubbling.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
- If baking without a crust, bake in a 9x9 inch baking dish. Adjust baking time as needed, potentially reducing it by 10-15 minutes
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
