Foodie: Crumbly Apple Pie
A buttery brown sugar topping is a fabulous variation on this classic American Apple Pie.
Ingredients:
Crust
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/3 cup chilled solid vegetable shortening
- 1/4 cup ice water
Filling
- 7 medium Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, or Gravenstein apples, peeled, cored, and very thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Topping
- 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/3 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces
Directions:
- Place oven rack in the lowest position. Preheat oven to 400F.
- To prepare crust, in a medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut shortening into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
- Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until a dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, using a floured rolling-pin, roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit into a 9-inch pie pan. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1-inch overhang; make a decorative edge.
- To prepare filling, mix together all ingredients. Spoon into crust.
- To prepare topping, in a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour, nutmeg. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into brown sugar mixture until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle apples evenly with topping.
- Bake pie until topping is lightly browned and filling is bubbly, 35 minutes. If pie is overbrowning, cover loosely with aluminum foil. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
