Description
A delicious and classic apple streusel pie with a flaky crust, sweet spiced apple filling, and a crunchy oat streusel topping.
Ingredients
- PIE CRUST: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup cold solid shortening, 3 to 4 tablespoons ice water
- STREUSEL TOPPING: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- PIE FILLING: 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, 1 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/8 teaspoon salt, 4 large Granny Smith apples, 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, 3 tablespoons half & half
Instructions
- Prepare the pie crust by mixing flour and salt. Cut in the shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough comes together. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim and flute the edges. Chill while preparing the filling and streusel.
- For the streusel, combine flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir in melted butter until crumbly. Set aside.
- For the filling, mix sugar, flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt. Peel, core, and slice the apples. Toss them with lemon juice, then mix with the sugar mixture.
- Pour the filling into the chilled crust. Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake at 375°F for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. Cool before serving.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients for the crust to ensure it stays flaky.
- Granny Smith apples work best for their tartness and firm texture.
- Let the pie cool completely to allow the filling to set.
