About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Juices must bubble thickly at the center, not just the edge, or the flour hasn't activated and the pie runs.

Ingredients

  • Crumb

Method

  1. 01

    Heat oven to 400°F with a sheet pan on the bottom rack.

  2. 02

    Toss apples with sugar, flour, lemon and cinnamon; mound in the crust.

  3. 03

    Rub crumb ingredients into clumps and pack over the apples.

  4. 04

    Bake 20 minutes, then lower to 375°F and bake 40 minutes more until juices bubble through; tent with foil if browning fast.

  5. 05

    Cool at least 3 hours to set.
