Cinnamon Crumble Apple Pie

 

Crust:

1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

1/4 cup (1/2 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/4 cup frozen solid vegetable shortening, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

3 tablespoons (or more) ice water

1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

 

Filling:

3 1/4 pounds Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced 1/4 inch

thick

2/3 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted

 

Topping:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1/4 cup (packed) golden brown sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch

cubes

 

For Crust:

Mix flour, salt, and sugar in large bowl. Add butter and shortening;

rub in with fingertips until coarse meal forms. Mix 3 tablespoons ice

water and vinegar in small bowl to blend. Drizzle over flour mixture;

stir with fork until moist clumps form, adding more water by

teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball; flatten into

disk. Wrap in plastic; refrigerate 30 minutes.

 

Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Roll

out dough on lightly floured surface to 12-inch round. Transfer to 9-

inch-diameter glass pie dish. Trim overhang to 1/2 inch; turn edge

under and crimp decoratively. Refrigerate while preparing filling and

topping.

 

For Filling:

Mix all ingredients in large bowl to coat apples.

 

For Topping:

Blend first 5 ingredients in processor. Add chilled butter cubes;

using on/off turns, cut in until mixture resembles wet sand.

 

Toss filling to redistribute juices; transfer to crust, mounding in

center. Pack topping over and around apples. Bake pie on baking sheet

until topping is golden, about 40 minutes (cover top with foil if

browning too quickly). Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake

until apples in center are tender when pierced and filling is

bubbling thickly at edges, about 45 minutes longer. Cool until warm,

about 1 hour. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

 

Makes 8 servings.
