julian apple pie recipe

Oh my, have you ever tried a Julian Pie? If not, you are in for a real treat! Made with fresh, juicy apples and a crumbly, buttery crust, this pie is a quintessential taste of California.

Apple Crumb Pie

To make this delicious apple crumb pie, you will need:

• 6 cups of peeled and sliced tart apples
• 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt
• 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

To prepare the filling, mix the apples, flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and melted butter together in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.

For the crumb topping, combine:

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup of brown sugar
• 1/2 cup of rolled oats
• 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 teaspoon of salt

Mix the ingredients until they form into small clumps. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the pie filling. Place the pie in the oven and bake at 375°F for 40-45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Classic Apple Pie

If you prefer a classic apple pie, try this recipe:

You will need:

• 3-4 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 3/4 cup of sugar
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
• A pinch of salt
• 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust

Preheat the oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, mix the apples, sugar, lemon juice, melted butter, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together. Pour the mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Top with a second pie crust and cut a few slits in the top to allow steam to escape. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

Whichever version you choose, be sure to serve your pie warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. You won’t regret it!
