Ingredients
Crust for a 9-inch single-crust pie
6cupspeeledcored, and thinly sliced apples (see note)
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Set aside; keep in the refrigerator if necessary to keep the crust cold.
In a large bowl, toss together the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and apple pie spice. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, pecan chips, and a pinch of salt. Stir in the melted butter and mix until all of the flour is moistened and the mixture forms crumbs.
Add the apples and all of their juices to the pie plate. Top evenly with the crumb mixture.
Place the pie plate on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the crust and crumble are golden brown, the juices are bubbling at the edges and the apples are tender. If the crust or crumble start to brown too much before the apples are tender, cover the edges with foil or tent the top loosely with foil to keep the pie from getting too dark.
Allow the pie to cool completely before serving.
Notes
Makes 1 9-inch pie.
I used honeycrisp apples for this recipe, but any good baking apple or mix of apples will work here.
