Tart Granny Smith apples and nutmeg are key to giving this pie a tangy flavor. This recipe is very easy to make, yet produces a quality apple pie. Best served warm with vanilla ice cream and drizzled with warm caramel sauce is nice too. Ingredients:
1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell, frozen, preferably a name brand |
3 large granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg |
1 tablespoon flour |
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven at 375 degrees with a cookie sheet on the center rack. Mix peeled and sliced apples in a large bowl with sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour.
2. Pour apple mixture into frozen pie crust.
3. Make the streusel crumb topping by mixing together with a fork in a medium bowl the flour, cinnamon, and light brown sugar. Then mix in the softened butter with a fork, stirring and blending until the mixture resembles crumbs.
4. Top the pie with the crumb topping, place on the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40 - 45 minutes until the crust is a deep golden brown and the filling bubbles.
5. Remove from oven, cool 30 minutes and serve warm with ice cream and caramel ice cream topping drizzled over pie, if desired.
