Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 1 cups all purpose flour
- 6 full Graham crackers broken into pieces
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 6 tablespoon butter softened
- 3 oz cream cheese
Filling Ingredients
- 6 large apples I used 3 Granny Smith and 3 Gala
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoon butter softened
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
Topping Ingredients
- ¾ cup all purpose flour
- ½ cup quick oats
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
- ½ cup butter melted or 8 tablespoons
Instructions
- Place flour, graham crackers, and salt in a blender or food processor. Process until ingredients become fine. Add butter and cream cheese. Blend until dough forms. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- Remove dough from blender and work together to form a ball. Place ball in a greased 9-inch pie pan. Press dough evenly to cover the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Smooth the edges. Place crust in the refrigerator for 1 hour prior to adding the filling.
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Peel, core, and cut apples into small chunks. Place apples, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl and toss until apples are evenly coated.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. When butter is melted, add apple mixture and continue to cook until apples are softened.
- Pour heavy whipping cream into apples. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring often, for about 3 minutes or until thickened.
- Using a slotted spoon transfer apples to your prepared crust. Pour thickened sauce over top and smooth it with a spatula.
- Prepare topping by placing flour, quick oats, brown sugar, sugar, and melted butter in a medium mixing bowl. Using a fork, combine all ingredients until crumbs are formed.
- Sprinkle topping evenly over top of apple filling. Cover outside of crust with a crust protector or aluminum foil.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until topping is golden brown. Cool on rack 30 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Skip the crumble topping: If you prefer, you can bake the pie without the oat crumble. I love the texture so I always add it, but you don’t have to!
- Don’t skip cooking the filling: Do not mix the filling ingredients and pour them directly into the pie. Cooking the apples and thickening the filling first will give you the best results.
- Chill the crust: You must chill the crust for at least an hour before baking it, so it holds up and doesn’t fall apart.
