How to Make Apple Pie Dessert
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or 9x9 inch baking dish.
- Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Gently toss apple slices with 2 tablespoons of orange juice.
- 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.
- Cut in 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, using a pastry blender or your fingers, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- 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)
- Place the pie plate on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
- 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.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
