Ingredients List
Filling
- 6 apples large
- 1/4 cup maple sugar
- 1/4 cup light brown sugar
- 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
Crumb Topping
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup maple sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 5 Tbsp butter preferably frozen
Instructions
Preheat Oven
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Place a sheet of aluminum foil on the bottom rack, directly under where you'll be placing the pie. This is to catch any juices that seep from the pie while baking.
Prepare The Crust
- Refrigerated pie crusts should sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or as directed on the box. This is to allow the dough to soften so it doesn't crack while being unrolled.
- Place the crust in the pie plate and flute or crimp the edge to create a scalloped look.
Prepare The Filling
- Core and peel the apples. Cut some of the slices into smaller pieces to fill any voids when assembling the pie.
- In a small mixing bowl thoroughly mix together the brown sugar, maple sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the apples in the lemon juice then sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples.
- Toss the apples until well coated. It's best to use your hands to toss the apples but a spoon will work.
- Pour the apples into the crust. Use the smaller pieces to fill any spaces around the edge or between slices.
Prepare The Topping
- Cut the 5 Tbsp of butter into five pieces then cut each piece into quarters.
- In medium mixing bowl add the cubed butter, flour, maple sugar, and cinnamon.
- Mix well with pastry cutter or a fork until crumbles start to form. Do not use your hands to mix the topping or your body heat will melt the butter.
- Topping is properly mixed when the crumbles resemble chunks of granola.
- Sprinkle or spoon the topping over the apple mixture then press the topping into the apples.
Bake
- Bake at 400℉ for 50 - 55 minutes.
- Pie is done when topping is dark brown and the filling starts to bubble.
Cool Down
- Allow to sit on wire cooling rack for at least 3 hours.
- If you cut the pie before it is completely cool, the slices will be messy and runny.
