  • Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 pie 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 bottom pie crust, made from scratch or store-bought.
  • 6 to 8 apples peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1/4 cup of Lemon Juice in a large bowl of water, to keep the apples from turning brown
  • 3/4 cup of White Sugar (or 1/2 cup of white sugar & 1/4 cup of monk fruit)
  • 2 tablespoons of Flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon of Salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice for the apple filling
  • For the Crumbles:

For the Crumble top:

  • 1/2 cup Butter, melted
  • 1 cup of Flour
  • 2/3 Brown Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground Cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400° F.
  2. Make the bottom crust first. If using a purchased premade set out on the counter to soften. If using my quick method in a mini food processor, combine and put in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before rolling.
  3. Next, make the crumble topping: mix together with a fork 1 cup of flour, 2/3 cup of brown sugar, and 1 tablespoon of cinnamon. Add the melted butter and stir together with the fork. If it is too soft and does not crumble, place it in the fridge for 5 minutes, or add 1 additional tablespoon of flour.
  4. In a large bowl, add cold water and 1/4 cup of lemon juice. Peel, core, and slice 6 to 8 apples. As you are working with the apples, put them in the lemon water. When ready to make the filing, drain the apples and rinse them with cold water. 
  5. In a large bowl, mix together the apples, 3/4 cup of white sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/8 teaspoon of nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and stir well.
  6. In the bottom of an 8 or 9-inch pie pan, layer the bottom crust. Leave about an inch to hang over the edge of the pie pan, and then fold over and crimp. 
  7. Add the apple filling to the bottom crust. 
  8. Take the crumble topping and layer a little at a time, crumbling over the top of the filling and covering all the apples. 
  9. Bake at 400° F for 35 to 40 minutes until the filling is bubbly and the crust is brown.
