Ingredients

  • For the pie crust
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 8 tablespoons 1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 2 tablespoons ice water
  • For the filling:
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 8 - 10 Granny Smith apples
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For the crumble topping:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/4 cup packed light-brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • To make the dough by hand, in a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt.
  • Using a pastry cutter or 2 knives, cut the butter into the flour mixture until the texture resembles coarse cornmeal, with butter pieces no larger than small peas.
  • Add the water and mix with a fork just until the dough pulls together.
  • Form dough into a ¾" thick disk. Wrap tightly in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Make crumble topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup flour, butter, brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Work with fingers until large clumps form; freeze.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 14-inch circle. Carefully fit into a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate, gently lowering dough into bottom and sides of pie plate without stretching (you will have a 2-inch overhang all around). Refrigerate.
  • Place lemon juice in a large bowl. Peel, core, and slice apples 1/8 inch thick, transferring them to the bowl as you work. Add granulated sugar, raisins, cinnamon, remaining 1/4 cup flour, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss to combine. Transfer apple mixture to pie crust, pressing in firmly. Fold dough overhang over filling, pleating it as you work your way around pie; press dough firmly against filling.
  • Bake 45 minutes, then sprinkle apple filling with crumble topping. Continue to bake until golden and bubbling, 30 to 45 minutes more. Cool at least 6 hours before serving.
