Ingredients:

  • For the crust:
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and diced
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 4 to 5 tablespoons ice water
  • For the filling:
    • 6 to 8 apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (a mix of tart and sweet is great!)
    • 1/4 cup sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • For the crumble topping:
    • 1 cup oats
    • 1 cup brown sugar
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1/2 cup butter, softened
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Instructions:

  1. Start off by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Let’s get it toasty!
  2. In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, and salt for the crust. Add the chilled butter, and with your fingers or a pastry cutter, mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Roll it out and fit it into a pie pan.
  4. For the filling, mix the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Pour that scrumptious mixture into your crust.
  5. For the topping, combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, softened butter, and cinnamon in another bowl. Mix until crumbly and sprinkle it over the apple filling.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the apples are bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Your kitchen should smell like a slice of heaven!
  7. Let it cool for a bit (if you can resist) and then dig in!
