A warm, rustic apple crumble pie with a golden, oat-studded topping and tender, lemon-bright apples.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups apples, peeled and sliced (about 5–6 medium apples)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for the filling)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (for the crumble)
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (not melted)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 9-inch pie pan lightly.
  2. Combine the peeled, sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon flour in a large bowl. Toss until every slice is coated.
  3. Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie pan and spread into an even layer.
  4. Mix 1 1/2 cups flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and salt in a separate bowl.
  5. Add the softened butter to the dry mixture. Use a fork, pastry cutter, or your fingertips to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the crumble over the apples, covering them completely.
  7. Bake on the center rack for 45–50 minutes. The top should be golden brown and the apples tender—test by sliding a knife into the center.
  8. Let the pie rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, ideally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute cold coconut oil or margarine for the butter. Use old-fashioned rolled oats for better texture.
