Equipment

  • 1 10 inch pie plate or a 9" deep dish pie plate
  • 1 pastry cutter
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 fruit / vegetable peeler

Ingredients
  

apple filling

  • 5 whole large apples peeled, cored, and sliced (granny smith, jonathan, or northern spy are the best)
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

crunch layer

  • 1 cup dark brown sugar or light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1/2 cup cold butter but into cubes
  • 1/3 cup Caramel Ice Cream Topping for drizzling

Instructions
 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • Prepare 2 pie crusts. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator while prepping the rest of the ingredients.

apple layer

  • Core, peel, and slice apples into a large bowl.  In a dish combine 3 tablespoons flour, salt, granulated sugar, and cinnamon.  Pour over apples and toss to coat. Set aside.

crunch/crumble layer

  • In a medium bowl add crumble ingredients flour, brown sugar, oats, and butter.  Using a pastry cutter cut ingredients together until you get a fine crumble. Set aside

assembly

  • Remove pie crust rounds from the refrigerator, roll out into a 12 inch circle. Place one crust into the bottom of your pie plate, press down into the bottom, there should be at least 1/2 inch falling over the sides.
  • Scoop apples into the pie crust, there may be some liquid that has accumulated at the bottom of the bowl, just take the apples and leave the extra liquid behind.
  •  Pour crumble mixture over top of the apples and pat down evenly and firmly into apple filling. 
  • Roll out second crust and lay it over top of the pie. Crimp edges, being sure to roll inward, cut a few slits into top of crust to allow any steam to be released.  Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown.  Remove from oven, let rest for a few minutes, drizzle with caramel topping.  Serve with vanilla ice cream.
  • Place pie on a baking sheet. This is incase any pie juices leak out your oven will be spared. Place pie in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes or until golden brown. You may need an additonal 10-15 minutes, if pie seems to be getting overly brown place a piece of aluminum foil lightly over the top of the pie.
  • Remove pie from oven, set on a cooking rack and drizzle with caramel sauce. Let pie rest for 1 hour before serving. Serve with additional caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream.
