Recipe by: Wholly Wholesome
Ingredients
- 1 Wholly Wholesome Traditional Organic Pie Shell
Filling
- 6 Medium-Sized Apples (we recommend Granny Smith)
- 1/2 Cup Sugar
- 2 tbsp Corn Starch
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
Crumb Topping
- 1/3 Cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1/3 Cup Rolled Oats
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
Instructions
- For the filling, Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl. Peel, core, and slice apples, toss with the dry ingredients until evenly coated, and sugar mixture is moistened from apples.
- Pack apple mixture evenly into our pie shell. The apples will be piled high, but will cook down some in the oven. Finish with crumb topping.
- For the crumb topping, Combine dry ingredients in a bowl. You can cut in butter with a fork or a pastry blender.
- Mix until butter is worked into the dry ingredients, it should look lumpy but dry. Smooth the crumb mixture over the apples.
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Place pie on a sheet pan and bake for about an hour (maybe a little longer). You will know the pie is done when juices bubbling out of it look thick, or a paring knife is easily inserted in the center and the apples are tender. The pie will sink down as it cools.
