Deep-Dish Crumb-Topped Apple Pie

Classic deep-dish apple pie flavored with cinnamon, ginger, and a pinch of allspice and topped with brown sugar crumbs.

Servings

Ingredients

1 9- inch deep-dish pie crust
4 pounds assorted apples approximately 8 apples
1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice

For the crumb topping:

3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
Pinch of salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter melted

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Peel, core, and slice the apples. Place in a large bowl with the flour, sugar, lemon juice, and spices. Stir to combine.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, and salt for the crumb topping. Drizzle in the melted butter; combined with a fork until crumbs form. Set aside.
Place pie crust in a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Carefully pour in apples, arranging to mound up in the middle (they should mound up quite a bit). Carefully place crumbs on top of the apples, pressing lightly on the sides so they stay in place.
Place pie on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour and 10 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until crust and crumb topping are golden and the juices are bubbly. Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.

Notes

Keep an eye on the pie while baking. If crust or crumb topping starts to get too dark, cover edges or top of pie very gently with foil for the remainder of the baking time.
