Ingredients

- 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and sliced (about 6 cups)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

How to Make Apple Crumble Pie
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour until well combined. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.
- In another bowl, combine the oats, 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, and the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar. Pour in the melted butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Spread the oat topping evenly over the apple filling, ensuring it covers the apples completely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the edges of the crust begin to brown too quickly, cover them with foil.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with whipped cream on top.
Tips for the Best Results
- Choose a mix of sweet and tart apples, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for the best flavor.
- Make sure to let the pie cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.
- If you like a little extra crunch, you can add chopped nuts to the oat topping.
Easy Variations
- Add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries to the apple filling for a chewy texture.
- Swap out some of the apples for pears for a different flavor profile.
- For a spiced twist, add a pinch of ginger or allspice to the filling.
What to Serve With It
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
- A drizzle of caramel sauce for added sweetness.
- A sprinkle of toasted nuts for an extra crunch.
