Whether you’re entertaining guests or simply looking for a delicious dessert to enjoy at home, apple pie is always a crowd-pleaser. And with this quick and easy recipe, you can whip up a homemade apple pie in no time at all.
First things first, preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
For the crust, you’ll need:
– 1 and 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
– 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
– 1/4 cup of ice water
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry blender or your fingers to mix until the mixture is crumbly. Gradually add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together into a ball. Flatten the ball into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
For the filling, you’ll need:
– 6 cups of thinly sliced and peeled apples (about six medium-sized apples)
– 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
– 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Roll out the chilled crust on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Transfer the crust to a 9-inch pie dish and trim any excess. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust.
For the topping, you’ll need:
– 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup of packed brown sugar
– 1/2 cup of quick-cooking oats
– 1/3 cup of unsalted butter, softened
– 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
– 1/4 teaspoon of salt
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, butter, cinnamon, and salt. Use your fingers to mix until the mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.
Bake the pie for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Allow the pie to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
One thing that sets this recipe apart is the crumbly topping, which adds an extra layer of texture and flavor to the classic apple pie. And with this easy-to-follow recipe, you can enjoy a delicious homemade apple pie anytime you like.
