Scale
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 – 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 cup oil*
Filling
- 4 – 5 granny smith apples
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- dash nutmeg and salt
Topping
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup butter (a bit over 6 tablespoons)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- For the crust, mix the flour, salt, and sugar together in a medium bowl. Add in milk and oil, stirring to combine. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a pie plate and set aside.
- For the filling, peel, core, and thinly slice the apples** and place in a large bowl. Mix in sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Pour into prepared crust.
- For the topping, mix the flour and sugar together in a medium bowl. Cut in small chunks of butter and blend lightly with a pastry cutter or fork. Sprinkle evenly on top of apple filling.
- Bake the pie in a 400 degree oven for 30 minutes. Allow to cool completely before cutting and serving.
Notes
- (*) For the oil in the crust, I used a combination of sunflower oil and liquid coconut oil. Any mild flavored oil would work here including basic vegetable oil.
- (**) I recommend using an “apple peeler/corer/slicer” to prepare the apples but it is not required. Just make sure you are cutting thin slices of apples, not chunks or wedges.
