Delicious Apple Crumb Pie for Large Gatherings

Ingredients 0/13

Step 1

Blend 2 1/2 cups of flour and a pinch of salt in a big bowl. Cut in 1/2 cup butter and shortening until the mixture looks crumbly. In another bowl, whisk together an egg, some water, and a splash of white vinegar. Pour that into the flour mixture and stir with a fork until it comes together into a dough. Wrap it up in plastic wrap and pop it in the fridge until you’re ready to use it.

Step 2

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1/4 cup flour until it’s smooth, then mix in the water and brown sugar. Keep stirring until everything is nicely combined, then take it off the heat.

Step 3

On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a large rectangle. Press it into the bottom and up the sides of an aluminum foil roasting pan, making sure it’s about an inch up the edges.

Step 4

Pile the sliced apples evenly over the crust, then drizzle the buttery sugar mixture on top. For the crumble topping, toss the apple crisp mix in a bowl and cut 1/2 cup butter into it until it’s crumbly. Sprinkle this all over the apples.

Step 5

Pop the pie in a preheated oven and bake for about an hour, or until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool a bit before slicing and serving!
