Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9-inch) deep-dish pie shell
  • 6–7 medium apples (Granny Smith + Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, sliced ¼-inch
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 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 (for crumb topping)
  • ½ cup packed brown sugar (for crumb topping)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
  • ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • ½ tsp cinnamon (for crumb topping)
  • Pinch of salt (for crumb topping)
  • 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. Toss sliced apples with sugars, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla in a large bowl; let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  4. For the crumb topping, mix flour, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt; cut in cold butter until small pea-sized crumbs form.
  5. Pour apple filling into the prepared pie shell and sprinkle crumb topping evenly over it.
  6. Bake for 50–60 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Tent edges with foil if browning too quickly.
  7. Allow cooling on a wire rack for 2–3 hours before slicing.
