Ingredients for Apple Crunch Pie

  • 1 (14-inch) refrigerated pie crust
  • Flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar + 1/2 cup packed brown sugar for topping
  • Sugar
  • Cinnamon
  • Butter
  • Tart Apples
  • Lemon Juice
  • Nutmeg

How to Make Apple Crunch Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced).
  3. In a large bowl, toss apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  4. Unroll one 14-inch refrigerated pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour apple mixture into the crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with aluminum foil.
  8. Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
