Time 1h30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (9 inch) unbaked deep dish pie crust
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup butter
7 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Place rack in lowest position in oven. Heat oven to 450 degrees F ( 230 degrees C).
  • To Make Topping: Mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; cut in butter or margarine until mixture is moist and crumbly, and clumps together easily.
  • To Make Filling: Peel, core, and slice apples into approximately 1/8 inch slices. If you cut them too thick you'll have crunchy apples. In another bowl, toss cut up apples, white sugar, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and nutmeg. Sprinkle in flour, and stir until apples are evenly coated.
  • Layer apple slices in pie shell. You will have a lot of apples, but they will shrink. Layer them higher in the middle. Pour left over juice from apple mixture over apples. Pat the brown sugar topping evenly over apples to make a top crust.
  • Place pie on cookie sheet in oven to catch juice droppings. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and bake for 45 minutes to one hour; bake until center of pie has no resistance. If top starts to get too dark, cover with piece of foil. Cool on wire rack before serving.

CRUNCHY CRUMB APPLE PIE



Crunchy Crumb Apple Pie image

This is a yummie alternative to an old favorite. The topping is sweet and the apples are a little tart. I posted this with a ready-to-bake pie crust, but I have found a homemade crust is always better! There are tons of apples in this pie but they cook down during baking. This is delicious topped with vanillia ice cream.

CARAMEL CRUNCH APPLE PIE



Caramel Crunch Apple Pie image

I was raised on a small farm, the youngest of eight children and the only girl. My mom taught me how to make all kinds of pies from scratch, and this is one of my favorites. Caramels and apples are a delicious combination.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, and Pink Lady.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add some spices: Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice are all classic apple pie spices that will add flavor and warmth to your pie.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: You can either make your own or use a store-bought crust. If you are using a store-bought crust, be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
  • Don't overfill the pie: Leave about an inch of space around the edges of the pie crust so that the filling has room to bubble up.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Let the pie cool before serving: This will help the filling to set and prevent it from running out of the pie when you cut it.

Conclusion:

Apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and warm spices, it is sure to please everyone at your table. Follow these tips to make the best apple pie possible.
