Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 batch single pie crust
  • 6 apple (peeled, cored and sliced)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • dash ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup unbleached, all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup sliced almonds

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Place a pie plate lined with a single crust on a rimmed baking dish to catch the drips.
  • In a large bowl, combine the apples, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir gently to distribute the components evenly. 
  • Spoon this mixture into the prepared pie shell. 
  • In a food processor bowl fitted with a metal blade, combine the flour, butter, and brown sugar. Pulse until coarse crumbs form. Stir in the almonds.
  • Alternatively, prepare the streusel top in a mixing bowl with a fork or pastry blender to cut the butter into the flour and sugar.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple filling.
  • Bake the pie 45-50 minutes, or until the filling bubbles and the topping is browned. If the topping and crust brown too quickly, cover with aluminum foil until baking is complete. 
  • Allow the pie to cool on a rack for about an hour before serving.
