Step-by-step
- Preheat oven to 375 convection and place a cookie sheet on the bottom rack for any overflow.
- Start with one cup of AP flour in a large mixing bowl. Add ½ cup brown sugar (Packed), ½ t cinnamon, and ⅛ t salt. Mix this well.
- Microwave 1 stick (4oz) of butter in a bowl for 20 sec. on high. It will be partially melted. Stir with a fork and then dribble into the flour mixture. Mix with a fork until well blended. Set aside.
- Peel and slice apples. I used 4 good size Granny Smiths. You need 5-6 cups of apple.
- Mix ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 t cinnamon together well then sprinkle over the apple slices. Mix well.
- Pour apple into a 9 inch uncooked pie crust. Either make one or use a Pillsbury refrigerated one.
- Top with the crumb mix.
- Bake on the middle rack. About 20 minutes into baking, you need to protect the edges of the crust. Either with aluminum foil or with a fancy dancy pie crust protector thingy.
- Bake a total time of about 50 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool completely before cutting. 3-4 hours.

I love using Granny Smith apples for this recipe, as their tartness balances the sweetness of the sugar beautifully. But feel free to experiment with other varieties like Honeycrisp or Fuji apples for a different flavor profile. You could even mix and match different apples for a more complex flavor. One of my favorite things about baking is the freedom to experiment and create something unique. This recipe is a great starting point for your own creative explorations.
