Apple Crumb Pie
Description
This Apple Crumb Pie starts with a flaky, homemade pie crust made by pulsing cold butter into flour and salt, chilled before rolling out. The filling consists of thinly sliced apples coated with lemon juice, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg to impart warm spices and slight tartness. The crumb topping combines flour, brown sugar, diced cold butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg, cut together until crumbly and sprinkled evenly over the apples.
The pie bakes at 375°F, initially covered loosely with foil to protect the topping during early baking, then uncovered to allow the crumb to brown and crisp. The result is tender, spiced apple slices enveloped by a moist but sturdy crust, topped with a crunchy, sweet spice-laden crumb. This classic dessert suits fall and holiday occasions.
