Equipment

  • 9-inch pie pan
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

Filling:

  • 5 to 6 apples peeled and sliced thin
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 2 tbsp butter cut into chunks

Simple Pie Crust:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp water

Crumb Topping:

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/3 cup 5 tbsp unsalted butter, softened

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the pie crust: In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add oil and water, stirring until a dough forms. Shape into a ball and chill if desired. Grease a 9-inch pie pan. Place the dough ball into the pan or roll it out on a floured surface before transferring. Press the dough evenly across the bottom and up the sides of the pan, ensuring even thickness. Crimp the edges for decoration if desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Peel and slice apples, then coat them with lemon juice. Add the apples and chilled butter chunks to the sugar mixture, tossing to coat evenly.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
  • Prepare the crumb topping: In a mixing bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Work the softened butter into the flour and sugar mixture using a fork or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
  • Bake the pie for 60-70 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust edges start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
  • Allow the pie to cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
