Ingredients
For the Pie:
- 1 unbaked pie crust
- 3 large (or 4 or 5 small) Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp. cinnamon
- Ice cream, whipped cream, or hard sauce, for serving
For the topping:
- 7 Tbsp. butter
- 3/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup pecans (more to taste)
- Dash of salt
Directions
- For the pie: Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Roll out pie dough and place it in a pie pan. Decorate the edges as desired.
- Add apple slices to a large bowl. In a separate bowl, mix together cream, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, vanilla, and cinnamon. Pour over apples. Pour apples into pie shell.
- For the topping: In the bowl of a food processor (or you can mix by hand) combine butter, flour, sugar, pecans (chop if you’re not using a food processor), and salt. Mix until everything comes together in clumps. Pour topping over apples.
- Attach foil to the edges and lay a piece of flat foil loosely over the top of the pie. Place pie pan on top of a rimmed cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour. At the end, remove foil and allow to finish baking and browning. Can bake for up to 15 or 20 minutes more if necessary.
- Remove from oven when pie is bubbly and golden brown.
- Serve warm with hard sauce, whipped cream, or ice cream.
