Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell (store-bought or homemade)
  • 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples (about 5–6 medium apples; Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn recommended)
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the lower third.
  2. Peel, core, and slice 5-6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Toss apple slices in a large bowl with 2/3 cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Stir gently until well coated.
  3. Place the unbaked 9-inch pie crust in the pie plate. Spoon the apple mixture into the crust, spreading evenly and pressing down gently.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 3/4 cup flour, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Pour in 1/2 cup melted unsalted butter and mix with a fork until coarse and crumbly.
  5. Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the apples, covering all the fruit and pressing lightly so it sticks but stays crumbly.
  6. Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch drips. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50-60 minutes, until the filling bubbles and the streusel is deep golden brown. Cover edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing.
  8. Slice into wedges and serve, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For best results, use a mix of tart and sweet apples. If apples are extra juicy, add an extra tablespoon of flour to the filling. Cover crust edges with foil if browning too quickly. Let pie cool completely before slicing for neat pieces. Streusel can be customized with nuts or spices. Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
