Citrus Apple Pie image

Taking a few of my favorite flavors and making a very simple crust that involved no rolling was what this recipe was. I have made this with just lemon zest and juice with the apples, then also added in some orange zest and it was a hit! I also sometimes put the apple pie spice into the crust mixture. Really makes a difference...

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 16

PIE CRUST
2 c flour
1 c packed brown sugar
3/4 c butter, melted
1/2 c quick oats
1 tsp orange or lemon zest (or half each)
1 Tbsp butter (to place on top of pie)
PIE FILLING
2/3 c sugar
1 1/3 Tbsp corntarch
1 1/4 c water (could use part orange juice for more intense flavor)
3 c peeled and diced granny smith apples
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp orange or lemon zest (or half each)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp apple pie spice

Steps:

  • 1. Peel, core, and dice 3 cups (about 4 apples) of tart apples. Place these into a bowl and squirt some lemon juice on top to keep them from turning brown.
  • 2. Combine flour, brown sugar, oats and zest. Slowly add in melted butter and mix well. Set aside 1 cup for topping and 1 tbsp butter to dollop on top. Press remaining crumb mixture into a lightly sprayed 9-in. pie plate and set aside.
  • 3. Combine sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch and water in a saucepan until smooth; bring to a boil. Cook and stir with a whisk for 1-3 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat and stir in apples, zest, apple pie spice and vanilla. Pour into crust; top with reserved crumb mixture and dollop with the 2 tbsp on top of crust. Bake at 350° F for 40-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pie crust turned out soggy. Maybe I didn't bake it long enough?

This pie was a bit too tart for my taste, but I think that's because I used Granny Smith apples. Next time I'll try a sweeter variety.

This recipe is a keeper! The citrus and apples complement each other perfectly, and the crust is flaky and golden brown. I'll be making this pie again and again.
