Ingredients
  

Pie Crust

  • 1 Package Refrigerated Pie Crusts I used "Pillsbury" Pie Crust, found in the Danish/Biscuit area

Apple Filling

  • 6 Medium Apples I used Golden Delicious
  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Topping

  • ¾ Cup Flour I used All-Purpose, Unbleached
  • ½ Cup Granulated Sugar
  • ⅓ Cup Butter, salted Cold

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Gather your ingredients.

The Topping

  • In a small bowl, mix the flour and 1/2 cup sugar together. Set aside.

The Filling

  • Peel and cut apples into bite-size pieces and place in a large bowl (you may leave peels on the apples, if desired). If the apples start to brown, add cold water and a few ice cubes. In a separate small bowl, mix the 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon together.
  • Dump the sugar mixture over the apples and gently toss with a large spoon making sure all of the apples are well-coated.

The Pie Crust

  • Let pie crust sit out for about 15 minutes before unrolling into the pie dish - this makes it much easier to unroll and press into the dish. Do NOT prick the dough with a fork.

Assembling the Pie

  • Simply dump the filling into the freshly rolled out pie crust and spread out evenly.
  • Sprinkle the sugar/flour topping evenly over the apples. Then cut the cold butter into tiny squares and place them evenly on top of the apples.
  • Bake for 40-50 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with or without vanilla bean ice cream!
