Old Fashioned Crumbly Easy Apple Pie Recipe

Okay, okay, okay….I was totally going to wait until September to post this-I’ve had it on my calendar forever-but I made it last week and it was just soooooo good that I couldn’t hold out on you any longer.  This is my Nana’s old fashioned apple pie recipe and it is one of the first baked desserts I ever perfected growing up.  While I can guarantee you that anyone who tastes (or sees) this pie will be impressed with your crazy awesome baking skills you’ll be laughing secretly because this is such an easy apple pie recipe! It’ll take you less than an hour to prep, bake, and be ready to serve!

Ingredients:

• frozen prepared pie crust, thawed

(Filling)

• 5 apples-gala, granny smith, or delicious
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4  tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt

(Topping)

• 3/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 3/4 cup all purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/3 cup chilled butter, cut into small pieces

The key to making this pie easy is starting with a premade crust.  I have an awesome pie crust recipe (I haven’t shared here yet) but I know many of you out there just don’t want or have time to add that step so starting with the crust made for you really simplifies things!

First, place your oven rack on the lowest level and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Peel, core and very thinly slice your apples and place in a medium bowl.  Add the remaining filling ingredients and mix to coat the apples.  Spoon the filling into the crust.

To make the topping mix together the brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg in a medium bowl.  Use a pastry blender or two knifes to cut the butter into the brown sugar mixture until coarse crumbs form.  Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple filling.

Bake the pie until the topping is lightly browned and the filling is bubbly, about 35 minutes.  If the pie begins to over-brown cover it loosely with foil.  Transfer to a wire rack to cool.  Serve warm.

This pie is delicious topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or just by itself.  It’s the ultimate comfort food!
