Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie shell (homemade or store-bought)
  • 6–7 medium apples (Granny Smith + Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, sliced
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour (or cornstarch/tapioca for GF)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed

  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: ¼ cup chopped pecans or old-fashioned oats

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Place the pie shell on a baking sheet to catch any spills.
  3. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla. Let sit for 10–15 minutes until syrup forms.
  4. In another bowl, combine flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in cold butter until pea-sized crumbs form; add nuts or oats if desired.
  5. Pour apple filling into the pie shell and sprinkle crumb topping evenly over it.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the topping is golden brown and filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow cooling on a wire rack for 2–3 hours before slicing.
