How to Make Apple Pie With Walnut Streusel
- **Make the Streusel Topping:** In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- **Chill the Topping:** Cover the streusel topping and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- **Prepare the Apple Filling:** Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds) into 1/2-inch wedges.
- **Toss Apples:** In a large bowl, combine the apple wedges with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
- **Preheat Oven:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- **Assemble the Pie:** Unfold one 10-inch pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and crimp the edges as desired.
- **Fill the Crust:** Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
- **Partially Cover:** Fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, leaving the center uncovered.
- **Bake (First Stage):** Bake for 1 hour, or until the crust is lightly golden.
- **Add Streusel:** Remove the pie from the oven. Sprinkle the chilled streusel topping evenly over the center of the pie.
- **Bake (Second Stage):** Brush the crust with 1 tablespoon of milk and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Return the pie to the oven and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- **Cool and Serve:** Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
