- 5 cups peeled and sliced apples (preferably Granny Smith)
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp salt
For the Topping:

Equipment
- 9-inch pie dish

- Plastic wrap
Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and granulated sugar for the crust. Cut in the diced butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges.
- In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for the filling. Mix until the apples are coated evenly.
- Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust.
- In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and diced butter for the topping. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.
- Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
