How to Make Walnut Streusel Apple Pie

  1. **Make the Streusel Topping:** In a medium bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, walnuts, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. **Chill the Topping:** Cover the streusel topping and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. **Prepare the Apple Filling:** In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced apples with the granulated sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  4. **Preheat Oven & Prepare Crust:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Unfold the thawed pie crust into a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet or a 10-inch deep-dish pie plate.
  5. **Fill the Crust:** Spoon the apple filling into the pie crust.
  6. **First Bake:** Bake the pie in the middle of the oven for 60 minutes.
  7. **Add the Streusel:** Remove the pie from the oven. Crumble the chilled streusel topping evenly over the center of the pie, breaking up any large clumps.
  8. **Final Bake:** 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 and thickened.
  9. **Cool & Serve:** Let the pie cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or sour cream!
