Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 unbaked pie crust
• 6 cups thinly sliced, peeled apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/3 cup unsalted butter, softened
• Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges.
• In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Make sure the apples are evenly coated.
• Transfer the apple mixture into the pie crust, arranging the slices evenly.
• In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, and softened butter. Mix with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples.
• Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. To prevent over-browning, cover the edges of the crust with foil if necessary.
• Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before slicing. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.

Helpful Tips

• For a crispier bottom crust, pre-bake the pie crust for 10 minutes before adding the apple filling.
• If you prefer a less sweet pie, reduce the amount of granulated sugar to 1/2 cup.
• Swap out Granny Smith apples for Honeycrisp for a slightly sweeter flavor.
• Add a handful of chopped nuts, like pecans or walnuts, to the streusel topping for extra crunch.

Storage Instructions

Store any leftover pie covered with plastic wrap or foil in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat slices in the microwave or oven before serving.

Pairings

This Apple Pie with Streusel Topping pairs perfectly with a warm cup of spiced cider or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a festive touch, serve it alongside a glass of mulled wine.
