Ingredients for Apple Pie Dessert

  • Baking Apples
  • 2 tablespoons orange juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • White Sugar
  • Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Butter
  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (for serving)

How to Make Apple Pie Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or 9x9 inch baking dish.
  3. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Gently toss apple slices with 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Arrange apple slices in the prepared pie plate or baking dish. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples. (Optional: Add 1/2 cup raisins)
  7. Place the pie plate on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. If using a square dish, you may need to add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

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.
