Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC).
  2. Place the graham cracker pie crust on a baking sheet. Brush the bottom and sides evenly with the beaten egg yolk to help it brown and crisp up.
  3. Bake the crust for 5 minutes until it begins to turn light brown, then remove from the oven.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
  5. Mix the apple filling well until the fruit is evenly coated with the sugar and spices, then spoon the mixture into the pre-baked crust.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/4 cup light brown sugar.
  7. Cut in the 1/3 cup room temperature butter using a fork or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumbly streusel topping evenly over the apple filling.
  9. Bake on the baking sheet for about 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
  10. Remove from the oven and cool thoroughly on a wire rack for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
  11. Serve at room temperature or slightly warmed with vanilla ice cream.
