Apple Pie Filling
- 7 cups apples peeled and sliced into ¼-inch slices
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
Crumble Topping
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup butter softened
- Pinch of salt
Heat oven to 400 degrees F.
Combine all pie filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss to evenly coat apples. Let sit for 20-30 minutes until apples have released some of their juices.
While the apples macerate, combine the crumble topping ingredients in a large bowl and cut the butter in using a pastry cutter until it is just small crumbs. Squeeze a couple of handfuls together to create small clumps of varying sizes.
Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surfacae and tansfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges and tuck under, using the tines of a fork to make a decorative pattern around the edge of the crust.
Mound the apple pie filling in the center of the crust, leaving the liquid behind in the bowl. Transfer the juices from the apples to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 45-60 seconds, until thick. Spread over the top of the apple pie filling.
Sprinkle the pie with the crumble topping.
Bake for 50-55 minutes until golden brown on top and the apple filling is bubbling and the apples are tender. Cover the pie crust edges with a pie shield partway through baking and cover the whole pie with a piece of aluminum foil halfway through baking if it looks like it is getting too brown.
Cool completely before serving.
