Description

This chunky apple pie has always been one of my favorite desserts. I love how the topping is more like a streusel than a traditional pie crust.


Ingredients

Scale

Easy Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups (149g) flour
  • 2 tsp (8g) sugar
  • 1/2 tsp (2,5g) salt
  • 1/2 cup (118mL) vegetable oil
  • 2 Tbsp (30mL) milk

Filling:

  • 68 apples
  • 1/2 cup (96g) sugar
  • 2 Tbsp (12g) flour
  • 1 tsp (2,5g) cinnamon

Butter Crumble Topping:

  • 1/2 cup (96g) sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50g) flour
  • 1/2 cup (115g) butter, softened

Instructions

Easy Crust:

  1. Mix the ingredients together.
  2. Pat the dough into a pie pan.

Filling:

  1. Peel, core and chop the apples into large chunks.
  2. Mix the apple chunks with the sugar, flour and cinnamon until all of the apples are coated in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  3. Place the apple filling in the crust to make a heaping mound.
  4. Gently pat the pan on the counter to allow the apples to settle.
  5. Add more apples if needed.

Butter Crumble Topping:

  1. Cut the butter into little pieces if it is still firm so that it is easier to mix.
  2. Mix the butter, flour and sugar with a knife or a pastry blender until it is the smooth consistency of a cookie dough.
  3. Place the crumble mixture over the apples. It will not completely cover the apples but it will melt and fill in the gaps while baking.
  4. Bake the pie at 400 degrees for 35-40 minutes.
  5. Then reduce the heat to 375 degrees and bake it for an additional 20 minutes or until it is golden brown, starting to bubble and the apple chunks are soft.
  6. Cover the pie with foil while baking it if the crust and/or topping starts to get too brown.
