Ingredients
 
 

Crust

  • 2 cups Graham crackers crumbs
  • 2 tablespoon Granulated sugar
  • 90 g Butter melted

Apple pie filling

  • 8 Apples large, peeled and coured.
  • ½ cup Brown sugar
  • ½ cup Granulated sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoon Cornstarch mixed with a little bit of water
  • ¼ cup Caramel sauce homemade or store bought

Crumble topping

  • 1 cup Flour
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 90 g Butter melted
  • ⅓ cup Brown sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoon Cinnamon

Instructions
 

Make the crust

  • Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor on hand, place the crackers in a Ziplock bag and smash the crackers with a cup until fine crumbs form.
  • Into a small to medium mixing bowl, add the graham crackers crumbs, sugar, and melted butter.
  • Mix with a spoon until the crumbs are coated with butter.
  • Transfer the crumbs into a prepared 9-inch pie pan, pressing evenly and firmly into the pan. Bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool while you make the filling.

Make the apple filling

  • Peel, core, and slice the apples into medium-sized slices (not too thinly). I use an apple peeler and corer to make this process quick and easy.
  • Add the apples to a saucepan over medium heat, and add the cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, vanilla extract, caramel sauce, brown sugar, granulated sugar, kosher salt, and 2 tablespoons of water.
  • Mix with a wooden spatula until well combined and the sugar is dissolved. Reduce to medium-low heat, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • The apples should be soft and tender. Add the cornstarch mixed with a little bit of water and mix until there are no lumps of cornstarch visible. Add the cornstarch mixture to the apple mixture and mix well. Set aside to cool while you make the crumble topping.

Make the crumble topping

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter. Mix with a spoon until the mixture is well combined.
  • Top the crust with the apple filling and spread it with a spoon. Top the apple filling with the crumble topping and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 40-50 minutes or until the crumble topping is golden brown and the apple mixture is bubbly.
  • Let the pie cool at room temperature for 2 hours and store in the fridge to let the pie completely set.

Notes

  • Place the pie in the lower third of the oven to stop the pie from browning too quickly.
  • Keep an eye on the top of the pie when it's baking! It is easy to burn.
  • Make this pie your own by adding your favorite flavors. Add a teaspoon of fig jam, and top it with powdered sugar, caramel sauce, ice cream, etc.
  • Don't slice the apples too thinly, I recommend slicing them into medium thickness, because in the cooking process, they will shrink, and we want to feel the texture of the apples in every bite.
  • To make this process easy, quick, and clean, use an apple peeler and corer. Here is the one I use all the time.
