Preparation Steps
- Place your oven rack on the lowest level and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and thinly sliced apples with granulated sugar, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg, and salt. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
- Spoon the apple filling mixture into the thawed prepared pie crust.
- To make the streusel topping, in a medium bowl, mix together the dark brown sugar, all-purpose flour, and 0.5 tsp ground nutmeg.
- Using a pastry blender or two knives, cut the chilled butter pieces into the brown sugar mixture until coarse crumbs form.
- Sprinkle the streusel crumble topping evenly over the apple filling in the pie crust.
Baking & Serving
- Bake the pie in the preheated oven for about 35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the topping begins to over-brown, loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil.
- Transfer the baked pie to a wire rack and let it cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Store any leftover pie covered in plastic wrap or on a covered pie plate in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you prefer to eat your pie at room temperature, remove a slice and allow it to sit on the counter for a few minutes before enjoying.
