Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
  • 4-6 tablespoons ice water
For the filling:
  • 6-7 tart apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
For the streusel topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

For the crust:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar. Add the butter pieces, and using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and the butter pieces are pea-sized.
  • Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, stirring with a fork after each addition until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead it gently a few times until it comes together into a cohesive ball. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place the dough into a 9-inch pie plate and crimp the edges. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
For the filling:
  • In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Toss to combine.
  • Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust. Place the pie plate onto a baking sheet.
For the streusel topping:
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add the butter pieces, and using your fingers or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture is crumbly and the butter pieces are pea-sized.
  • Sprinkle the streusel topping over the pie. Place the pie plate onto the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  • Let the pie cool before serving.
