How to Make Apple Crumb Deep Dish Pie

1. Line a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with your favorite pie crust (homemade or store-bought). Crimp the edges.
2. Peel and thinly slice about 6 medium apples (approximately 6 cups sliced). Place in a large bowl.
3. Add the juice of 1 lemon to the sliced apples.
4. Gently toss the apples to coat them evenly with lemon juice.
5. Stir in 3 tablespoons of sour cream; mix well and set aside.
6. In a medium bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
7. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
8. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour, ⅓ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
9. Pour the flour mixture (from step 8) over the apples and toss gently to coat.
10. Spoon the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
11. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter over the apples.
12. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
13. Place the pie on a foil-lined baking sheet (to catch any drips).
14. Bake on the lowest oven rack at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 60-80 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the apples are tender. The crust should be golden brown.
15. Let cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
