Receta Crumbly Apple Pie
When it comes to apple pie, I love mixing up the apple variety in the filling.
I use Cortland and Honeycrisp apples. Cortland's will give the filling and applesauce like smoothness. While the Honeycrisp will remain firm when cooked. Finally a buttery brown sugar topping is a fabulous variation on this classic American apple pie.
This combination makes for an texture explosion in your mouth.

- Place oven rack in lowest position. Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Prepare Crust: In a medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut shortening into flour mixture until coarse crumbs form.
- Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with a fork, until a dough forms. Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll dough into a 12-Inch circle. Fit into a 9-Inch pie pan. Trim excess dough, leaving a 1-Inch overhang; make a decorative edge.
- Par-bake crust at 400°F for 5 - 8 minutes; do not cook until golden brown. When crust looks opaque/dry, remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Prepare Filling: Mix together all ingredients. Spoon into crust.
- Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, flour and nutmeg. Using pastry blender or 2 knives, cut butter into brown sugar mixture until coarse crumbs form. Sprinkle apples evenly with topping.
- Bake pie until topping is lightly browned and filling is bubbly, 35 minutes. If pie is over browning, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
