Hands-On Time: 30min

Cook Time: 1h

Ready In: 1h 30min

Yield: 8

Ingredients

• 12 small-medium green apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/4 inch slices
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon flour
• 1/2 box frozen pie dough, thawed or use you favorite single-crust recipe
• 9 tablespoons butter, cold, cut in cubes

Topping

• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Make the filling. Toss together apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, spices and flour in a large bowl. Set aside. Make the topping. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the flour and sugar. Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, blend in the butter, until coarse crumbs form.
3. Remove the crust from the fridge and pour apples into it. It will seem like a lot of apples for that size pie, but they shrink while baking. Carefully sprinkle the topping on the apple filling, covering the entire pie to the crust edges. Place pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 45-55 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If necessary, cover the crust during the last few minutes of baking to prevent burning.
