Description

This classic apple pie features a flaky crust filled with spiced apples and topped with a buttery crumble. Baking it in a brown paper bag keeps the apples tender and the crust perfectly golden.

Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons cold milk

For the Filling:

  • 4 cups sliced apples (a mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp works well)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar (or a mix of granulated and brown sugar)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

For the Crumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, softened

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Crust:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups flour, 1 ½ teaspoons sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt.
    • Add ½ cup vegetable oil and 2 tablespoons cold milk; mix until well combined.
    • Press the dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie pan. There’s no need to roll it out.
  2. Prepare the Filling:
    • In another bowl, mix ½ cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon nutmeg.
    • Toss the sliced apples with this mixture until well coated. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to allow the sugar to melt onto the apples.
    • Pour the apple mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
  3. Prepare the Crumb Topping:
    • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup flour, ½ cup sugar, and ½ cup softened butter.
    • Use your fingers or a fork to mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
    • Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
  4. Bake the Pie:
    • Place the assembled pie into a large brown paper grocery bag. Fold the open end of the bag over and staple it shut to enclose the pie.
    • Place the bagged pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 1 ½ hours.
    • Carefully remove the pie from the oven and slit the bag open with a knife. Let the pie cool completely on a cooling rack, about 4 hours, to allow the filling to set.

Notes

  • Ensure the brown paper bag does not touch the heating elements of the oven to prevent burning.
  • For added flavor, consider drizzling caramel sauce over the pie before serving.
  • Serving the pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream enhances the dessert experience.
