Instructions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
- Stir in the 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).
Notes
For a crispier crumble, use less butter or bake for a few extra minutes. You can also add other spices like allspice or cardamom to the filling or topping.
