The crunch and sweetness of the crumb topping make this pie extra yummy with caramel sauce and vanilla bean ice cream!
1 pie crust, frozen, pre-made 9"
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon fresh nutmeg, ground
8 Organic Granny Smith (or Fuji) Apples, peeled, cored and sliced (1/4 inch thick) (See Chef's tip below)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (4 ounces) unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
1 (6 ounces) piloncillo (brown sugar cones) (See Chef's tip)
Dessert sauce (caramel flavor) to taste
Vanilla bean ice cream
Preheat oven to 350ºF.
In a large bowl, combine the sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the apples and mix well. Set aside.
In a bowl, add the flour, butter and piloncillo. Using a fork or a pastry cutter, mix until crumbly, like coarse meal.
Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust and dot with the butter. Sprinkle with the topping and place in the oven.
Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until crust is golden brown and apples are cooked through.
Let cool and serve. Place one pie wedge on a plate, drizzle with caramel sauce and add a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.
