Ingredients

• For the pie crust:
• - 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• - 1/2 teaspoon salt
• - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• - 3-4 tablespoons ice water
• For the apple filling:
• - 4-5 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• - 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• For the topping:
• - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
• - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• - 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt for the pie crust. Add the cold cubed butter and cut it into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or your fingers until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
4. In another bowl, combine the thinly sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss everything together until the apples are coated evenly.
5. Remove the chilled dough from the refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing it into the bottom and sides of the dish.
6. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly.
7. In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, sugar, flour, and cinnamon for the topping until it forms crumbles. Sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.
8. Place the pie dish on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set.
10. Serve the open-faced apple pie warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
