Ingredients
Filling
- 4 large Pink Lady or other tart apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
- 1/4 cup(s) sugar
- 1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) vanilla
- 1/4 cup(s) apricot jam (generous)
Topping
- 1/3 cup(s) brown sugar
- 1/2 cup(s) flour
- 1 teaspoon(s) cinnamon
- 6 tablespoon(s) (3/4 stick) butter, cold and diced
Instructions
- Blind bake your empty pie crust for 12-14 minutes (until golden brown) at 400 Fahrenheit, being sure to prick the bottom and edges with a fork first. Let cool for five minutes. Then spread your apricot jam all over the bottom of the pie.
- Combine all other filling ingredients until apples are evenly coated. Put filling in apricot jam covered crust.
- Combine dry ingredients of crumble topping until mixed. Use a fork/pastry cutter or food processor to add in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over top of pie.
- Bake at 350 Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes until brown and bubbly, and apples are tender. (Cover crust edges with foil as needed to prevent over browning). Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
