Steps
French Apple Pie with Streusel Topping Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
- 6-8 cups apples (peeled, cored and thinly sliced)
- 2/3 cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup rolled oats
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray or butter.
2. Roll out the pie crust on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Place the crust into the greased pie dish and trim off any excess dough. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork to allow steam to escape.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well until the apples are coated in the mixture.
4. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Dot with butter and cover loosely with another layer of pie crust.
5. In a separate bowl, combine the sugar, flour, oats, brown sugar, and cold butter pieces. Mix well with your hands or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse sand. Sprinkle this streusel topping over the top of the apples, making sure to cover as much surface area as possible.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool for at least an hour before slicing and serving.
