Serving Size: 8

Cooking Time: 80 minutes

Ingredients

• 6 Cups apples, sliced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) lemon juice
• 0.75 Cups white sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Teaspoons (tsp) cinnamon, ground
• 0.125 Teaspoons (tsp) nutmeg, ground
• 0.5 Cups raisins
• 0.5 Cups walnuts, minced
• 1 9-Inch pie shell
• 0.5 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Cups brown sugar, packed
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) butter, cubed

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples and lemon juice. In a separate small bowl, mix together the white sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples and toss until the apples are evenly coated. Stir in the raisins and walnuts.
3. Transfer the apple mixture into the pie shell, spreading it evenly.
4. In a small bowl, combine 0.5 cups of flour and brown sugar. Add the chilled butter cubes and blend with a fork or pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumble evenly over the apple filling.
5. Cover the pie loosely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 25 to 30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
6. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and maintain the crunch of the topping.
