You know the recipe is good when it’s on the packaging! This Apple Crumble Pie recipe was featured on the Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar bag for decades. Apple Crumble Pie is like the perfect mash-up of two dessert hall-of-famers. Imagine a classic apple pie – those tender, juicy slices of apple, cozied up with warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, all nestled into a buttery, flaky pie crust. Now, take that to the next level by crowning it with a golden-brown crumble topping. This crumble is all kinds of delightful – crispy, with hints of brown sugar and cinnamon.It’s comfort food wrapped up in a pie dish, and if you’ve never tried making one, you’re seriously missing out. It’s the kind of dessert that makes you want to sneak in for seconds, maybe thirds, especially if a scoop of vanilla ice cream is melting on top.

Ingredients
Apple Pie
- One 9-inch Pure Butter Pie Crust
- 1/2 cup Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Pinch nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon + 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 6 large Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and thinly sliced*
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Crumble Topping
- 1 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour*
- 1/2 cup well-packed Dixie Crystals Dark Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter
Garnish (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
- Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Prepare or thaw a 9-inch pie crust and place on an aluminum foil-lined cookie tray for easy clean up after baking. Set aside.
- Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour in a large bowl.
- Peel and quarter apples and cut each quarter crosswise into 6 slices. Toss in sugar mixture to prevent browning of apples. Add vanilla.
- Arrange apple filling in pie crust. Melt butter and pour over apple filling.
- Prepare crumble by combining flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Using a cheese grater, grate very cold butter into small pieces directly onto flour mixture.
- Rub between your hands to turn streusel into small lumps and consequently into a crumble.
- Sprinkle crumble topping generously over apples and place in oven. Bake for 30 minutes and then reduce oven temperature to 350°F. Keep pie the oven for about one hour or until apple filling makes thick bubbles (consistency of honey) which are visibly showing on top of pie. If the pie gets too dark during baking, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Sprinkle with confectioner’s powdered sugar or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
