How to Make Butterscotch Crumb Apple Pie
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- **Prepare the Filling:**
- Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups).
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together ¾ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
- Pour the sugar mixture over the apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated.
- If using a frozen pie crust, use a deep-dish type. Place the crust on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes to partially thaw.
- Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
- Cover the edges of the pie crust with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
- **Prepare the Topping:**
- In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 1 cup butterscotch chips and ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in ¼ cup all-purpose flour and a pinch of salt.
- Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Remove the aluminum foil from the pie crust.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
