Ingredients
1 prepared pastry crust
6 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced thin
0.5 cup coconut sugar
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.75 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
0.75 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp ground Ceylon cinnamon
1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Line a chilled pie dish with the prepared pastry crust and trim the edges.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with coconut sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
Arrange the seasoned apple mixture evenly into the bottom of the pastry-lined pie dish.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter using a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with small pea-sized butter chunks.
Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the apples, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until the topping is a deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Keep the butter very cold until the last moment to ensure the crumb topping remains flaky and crunchy rather than greasy. If the topping browns too quickly, tent the pie loosely with aluminum foil for the remainder of the bake time.
