apple pie with oatmeal streusel topping

  • 1 pie crust (either handmade or ready made)
  • 3 Gala and 3 Golden Delicious Apples, peeled and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/4 cup raw sugar
  • 1 tbsp of honey
  • juice from 1 lemon
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tbsp corn starch
For the oatmeal topping:
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 2/3 cups of packed dark brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup cold butter, thinly sliced (about 1/4 inch)
Press pie crust into pie pan.

In a large bowl toss together the apple slices, honey, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and corn starch.

Spread evenly into pie crust. Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.

While apples are baking prepare the topping.

Place the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt into a food processor and pulse to mix a bit.

Add in the cold butter and pulse to combine. Pour into a large bowl and use fingers until mix resembles large crumbs.

Remove apples from oven. Carefully pour oat mixture evenly over top of apples and press down evenly like so.

Lower oven temperature to 375 and place back into the oven for another 25 minutes.


Allow to cool before cutting.
