Apple Crumb Pie

I love a good old Apple Pie but I like it even more with a crunchy streusel topping.  That’s why I created this recipe that used to be a fan favorite at my shop and will sure be a favorite among anyone you make it for!

INGREDIENTS

PIE CRUST
• 325g = 11.4oz All Purpose Flour, unbleached

• 5g = 1tsp Sugar
• Pinch Salt
• Ice water, as needed

STREUSEL TOPPING
• 170g All Purpose Flour, unbleached
• 170g = 8oz Butter, cold, unsalted
• 100g Light brown sugar
• 70g Nuts, your favorite(s)
• 45g Old fashioned oats
• 2g Cinnamon, ground

• 42g = ⅓ cup All Purpose Flour
• 6g = 1 T Cinnamon, ground

PROCEDURE

  • Pie Dough:
    • Add all ingredients in a food processor or mixer with the paddle attachment.
    • Mix until the cold butter has spread throughout and it is the size of small peas. • Then add the cold water little drizzles at a time just until the dough comes together.
    • Wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  • Streusel Topping:
    • Chop the nuts into two or three pieces, not too small.
    • Mix all ingredients either by hand or in a mixer with the paddle attachment just until they start to come together.

  • Pie Filling:
    • Peel, core and cut the apples into thin slices. Place in a bowl.
    • Mix the cinnamon, flour and sugar and then mix into the apples. Toss everything well so the dry ingredients are well spread throughout the apples.
  • Assembly:
    • Roll the dough and place over the pie tin. Trip the edges if necessary. Pierce the bottom with a fork.
    • Place the apples inside the pie shell. They will pile up, this is normal.
    • Add the streusel topping on top of the apples, making sure to press it into different size chunks as you spread it throughout the top.
  • Bake at 350F for about 60 minutes.
  • Let it cool completely.

Enjoy with a scoop of your favorite gelato!
