How to Make Apple Crunch Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups sliced).
- 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.
- Unroll one 14-inch refrigerated pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate. Pour apple mixture into the crust.
- 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.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
- 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.
- 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.
