Apple Crumble Pie
Ingredients
Pie crust recipe on fromscratchwithmaria.com
Filling Ingredients:
- 6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced (about 6 apples)
- ¾ cup dark brown sugar, loosely packed
- 2 teaspoons Provenzano's Market Pumpkin Pie Spice
- ½ teaspoon salt
Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup oatmeal
- ½ cup flour
- ¼ cup 100% Bran cereal, buds, not flakes
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, Provenzano's Market Pumpkin Pie Spice, and salt until evenly coated.
- To make the topping, combine the oatmeal, flour, brown sugar, and bran cereal in a food processor. Add the cold butter cubes and pulse until the mixture becomes crumbly. Transfer to a bowl and stir in the sunflower seeds. Chill for at least 10 minutes; this step can also be done ahead.
- Pour the apple filling into a blind-baked pie crust. Evenly sprinkle the cold crumble topping over the apples.
- Bake at 425°F for 15 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F and continue baking for 30–35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping and crust are golden. Setting the pie dish on a baking sheet can make transferring in and out of the oven easier.
- If the top begins to brown too quickly, tent lightly with foil and finish baking.
- Allow the pie to cool for at least one hour before serving. It gets even better over the next couple of days!
