I don't know about you, but one of my favorite things about fall (and let's be real, I have a lot of love for all things related to fall), is apple pie. There is just something about the perfect flaky crust and the delicious combination of spices that gets me. This recipe is my go-to, especially since it has an mouthwatering cinnamon, brown sugar crumb topping.
Here it is before going into the oven :)
I promise, if you make this to bring to your fall gatherings, you will have people begging you for the recipe. Here is everything you need to bring this twist on a fall classic to your kitchen.
Swoon-worthy Apple Pie
Pie Filling ingredients:
6-7 Granny smith apples
3/4 C. Sugar
1/4 C. Flour
1 1/2 t. Cinnamon
A pinch of Ground nutmeg
A pinch of Ground cloves
*1 Gallon-sized ziploc
Crust and Crumb Topping ingredients:
1 Pillsbury pre-made pie crust (or you can use my favorite pie crust recipe from Add A Pinch)
1 Stick Salted butter
1 C. Flour
1/2 C. Brown sugar
Directions:
1. Measure and combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves in your ziploc bag. Close and shake.
2. Peel and slice your apples. place prepared apples into the ziplock and shake it again, until the dry ingredient mixture is evenly distributed on the apple slices.
3. Dump the contents of your ziplock into a microwavable bowl. Microwave for 3 minutes, stir, and microwave for an additional 3 minutes.
4. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Dust a little flour on the inside of your pie pan, and place your crust inside. Dump you microwaved pie filling into the crust. Set aside.
6. In a separate bowl, using a pastry cutter, cut together your butter, brown sugar, and flour. This is your crumb topping.
7. Sprinkle crumb topping onto your pie. Make sure that it is evenly distributed and covers the entire top of it.
8. Bake in the oven for 18-20 min, or until your crumb topping is a golden brown.
**in order to avoid the edges of the crust burning, check the pie after 12 minutes. If the edges look golden brown, place a pie crust shield on it. This will allow the rest of your pie to finish baking, while at the same time giving you the perfect, flaky crust.
Happy baking!
