Instructions

1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie plate. Crimp the edges decoratively. Set aside.
2
Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated. Let stand for 10 minutes.
3
Prepare the Cinnamon Streusel Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, and 1 tsp ground cinnamon. Add the cold, cubed butter. Using your fingertips or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with some larger pea-sized pieces.
4
Assemble the Pie: Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, mounding it slightly in the center. Evenly sprinkle the streusel topping over the apples.
5
Bake the Pie: Place the pie on a baking sheet (to catch any potential drips). Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Then, reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue to bake for another 35-45 minutes, or until the streusel is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a knife (test through a gap in the streusel).
6
Cool and Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before slicing and serving. This allows the filling to set properly. Serve warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best apples for apple pie?

A mix of sweet and tart apples works best. Granny Smith provides tartness and holds its shape well. Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Golden Delicious can add sweetness and good texture. Using a combination creates a more complex flavor.

How can I prevent a soggy pie crust bottom?

Ensure your pie crust is chilled before adding the filling. You can also lightly brush the bottom crust with a beaten egg white before filling and baking, which creates a barrier. Baking at a higher temperature initially helps to set the crust quickly.

Can I prepare this pie ahead of time?

You can prepare the streusel topping and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The apple filling is best made just before assembling to prevent the apples from browning too much. The assembled, unbaked pie can be refrigerated for a few hours, but it's best baked fresh.
