Ingredients
For The Graham Cracker Crust
- 1 ½ cups crumbled graham crackers crumbs (12 pieces total)
- ⅓ cup unsalted butter melted
- 3 teaspoon granulated sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
For The Apple Pie Filling
- 3 lbs apples peeled, cored and thinly sliced
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon quick cooking tapioca
- 1 ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- pinch ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 tablespoon apple butter
Cinnamon Crumble Topping
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter cold and cubed
Instructions
- Lightly spray a pie plate with cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 375 ℉.
- Using a food processor, process the graham crackers into fine crumbs. In a medium bowl, combine the crumbled graham crackers, sugar and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until the consistency is a coarse sand-like texture. Add the graham cracker mixture to the prepared pie plate and press evenly into the bottom and up the sides. Bake at 375 degrees for about 7 minutes, then remove and let cool slightly before adding the apple filling.
- While the pie is cooling, make the apple pie filling. Combine the apples with the sugars, tapioca, spices, and lemon juice. Fold in the apple butter and set aside until the crust is ready. Carefully transfer the apple pie filing to the baked crust. It may seem like there is too much filing, but it will bake down during the cooking process.
- Make the cinnamon streusel topping by combining the sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Add the cubed butter and cut it into the dry mixture with a pastry cutter, two knives, or just your fingers. This will start to resemble small pebbles.
- Add the streusel topping to the top of the apple mixture, then place the pie pan on a large baking sheet to catch any spills that may occur during baking.
- Bake the pie at 350 degrees for 55-65 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple pie filling is bubbling.
- Allow the pie to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Place the pie plate onto a large baking tray to catch any spills.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Freeze pie by wrapping it in plastic, then again in aluminum foil and freezing for up to 2 months. Thaw when ready to use.
- Reheat pie by placing it in a 350 degree F oven for 30-40 minutes.
