Apple Crumb Pie

All-American Apple Crumb Pie is the dessert equivalent of comfort food. Slices of fresh apples, seasoned with sugar, spice and everything nice are baked until tender smothered with a buttery homemade crumb topping. It just begs to be served with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream while still gooey and warm. Heavenly.

How to Make the Best Apple Crumb Pie Recipe

We're incredibly fortunate to have quality convenience items such as premade pie crusts available in most every grocery store. While pie crusts consist of simple ingredients, they tend to intimidate even experienced cooks, so it's nice to have other options to make life simpler. A homemade pie crust or a quality deep dish frozen pie crust will work equally well for this pie. Don't forget the vanilla ice cream!

• Ingredients you'll need to make homemade Apple Crumb Pie recipe: One 9 or 10 inch deep dish unbaked pie shell, sliced Granny Smith apples, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, apple pie spice, salt, butter, all purpose flour, lemon juice and vanilla extract.
• For the crumb topping you'll need: Cold butter, all purpose flour, granulated sugar and light brown sugar. To make the crumb topping you'll sift together the flour, sugar and brown sugar then use a pastry blender to cut the cold butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles peas. Sprinkle over the apple pie filling.
• Kitchen gadgets you'll need: A sharp knife and chopping board, an apple corer and peeler, mixing bowls, measuring cups and spoons and a 9 or 10 inch deep dish pie pan.
• If you'd like to make your own crust, checkout my Flaky Pie Crust recipe.
• You could use a different variety or a mix of apples for this pie. Please note, different varieties of apples bake differently. Adjust the baking time as needed.
• If the apples are tender when pierced with the tip of a knife, remove the pie from the oven to cool. If they aren't but the top is browning too quickly, lay a piece of foil on top to prevent over browning.
• Store leftover apple crumb pie in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
• You can also freeze apple pie for up to 2 months, Thaw in the refrigerator and gently warm in the microwave in single servings or enjoy cold.

Ingredients

• 1 9- inch deep dish pie crust refrigerated, frozen or homemade
• 3 lb apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced [around 8 large]
• 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Fit the pie crust into a 10-inch deep dish pie plate. Set aside. Place the sliced apples into a medium-size mixing bowl. Sprinkle with the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, ground cinnamon and apple pie spice. Stir until coated, then sit aside for 10 minutes while you prepare the crumb topping.
• In a separate bowl, using a pastry blender or 2 forks, cut the cubed butter into the flour, brown sugar and granulated sugar until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Spread the apples evenly into the pie shell. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples.
