Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups (160g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 2-3 tablespoons ice water

 

For the apple filling:

  • 5-6 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, or Fuji)
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1.5 teaspoon ground Lord & Lion Ceylon Cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (to thicken)

 

For the crumble topping:

  • 1/2 cup (65g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground Lord & Lion Ceylon Cinnamon

 

Method

1. Prepare the crust:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

Add the cold, cubed butter. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.

Shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

 

2. Prepare the filling:

Peel, core, and slice the apples.

In a large bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice, sugar, Ceylon Cinnamon and flour. Set aside.

 

3. Make the crumble topping:

In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar and Ceylon Cinnamon.

Add the cold butter cubes and mix with your fingers or a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

 

4. Assemble the pie:

Preheat your oven to 190°C.

Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.

Transfer the crust to the pie dish, trim the edges.

Pour the apple filling into the crust.

Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.

 

5. Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Let it cool slightly before serving.
