Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust
- 6 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for streusel)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed (for streusel)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
- In a large bowl, combine apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, lemon juice, and vanilla. Toss until apples are evenly coated.
- Spoon apple mixture into the pie crust, mounding slightly in the center.
- In a separate bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the streusel topping. Cut in butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle streusel evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, covering edges with foil if they brown too quickly, until apples are tender and topping is golden brown.
- Cool slightly and drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for best flavor and texture.
- Let pie cool slightly before slicing to help it set.
- Top with vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
