Ingredients
  

Apple Filling
  • 6 medium Granny Smith apples Peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
  • 0.25 cup Packed light brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Butter Cut into small pieces
Crumble Topping
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cup Rolled oats
  • 0.5 cup Packed light brown sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter Cut into small pieces
Pie Crust
  • 1 9-inch pie crust Store-bought or homemade

Equipment

  • 9-inch pie plate
  • Large bowl
  • Pastry blender or fork
  • Measuring Cups and Spoons
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Stir in 1 tablespoon of butter. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apple filling.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover the edges with foil.
  7. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (optional).

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a mix of apple varieties. You can also add a tablespoon of cornstarch to the filling to thicken it.
