Ingredients
6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch wedges
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, chilled
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
0.5 cups rolled oats
1 tablespoon flour (for apple mixture)
1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
0.5 cup granulated sugar (for apple mixture)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Roll the chilled pie dough into a nine-inch circle and press it into a glass pie dish.
In a large bowl, toss the apple wedges with granulated sugar, half the cinnamon, and one tablespoon of flour.
Arrange the apple mixture inside the pie crust, mounding the apples slightly in the center.
In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, remaining cinnamon, and cold butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the rolled oats to the streusel mixture.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apples.
Bake for 55 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Notes
Keep the butter very cold until the last moment to ensure the streusel topping remains crumbly and buttery rather than greasy. Store the pie covered at room temperature for up to two days, or refrigerate for longer freshness. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
