Homemade Apple Pie with Oatmeal crumb topping. Easier to make than a double crust pie, this homemade apple pie has a delightful oatmeal crumb topping. Super delicious, especially served with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 10 tablespoons (1 1/4 sticks) cold unsalted butter (for a more tender and flaky crust you could use 8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter + 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening or lard)
  • 2 tsp white vinegar
  • scant 1/3 cup cold water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 1/12 tablespoon cornstarch
  • pinch of salt
  • 6 1/2-7 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup rolled oats
  • 1/3 cup light brown sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold, unsalted butter, cubed

Directions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Cube the butter and place it into a small bowl. In a measuring cup, add the vinegar and top with water to reach 1/3 cup. Put everything in the fridge for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    To prepare the apples, you can use an apple slicer. Then, peel the slice and cut it into two to make it thinner.

  3. 3

    In a food processor, combine the oats, flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon. Pulse a few times just to mix.

  4. 4

    Place the dough on a lightly floured parchment paper and lightly dust the top with flour. Dust the rolling pin with flour, too. Flatten the dough a little, just to make it more workable.

  5. 5

    Adjust the racks in the oven, one in the lower position, and one in the middle. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
