Ingredients for the crust
- 400g Digestive cookies (or Graham crackers)
- 115g butter or margarine, softened and cut into pieces
Ingredients for the topping
- ½ cup + 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 115g butter or margarine, softened and cut into pieces
Ingredients for apple filling
- 4 green apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon ground almonds
- Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F.
- Begin by making the crust. Grind up all the biscuits in a food processor and put the ground mixture in a bowl. Slowly add the butter and work with your hands to incorporate it into the ground biscuits. Press the mixture all over the bottom of a round 25cm pan or Pyrex and refrigerate.
- Make the topping next by combining all the ingredients in a big bowl, working the butter into the dry ingredients, crumbling the mixture between your fingers. Set aside.
- Finally, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, combine the apples with the lemon juice. Add the granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon and ground almonds and mix to coat all the apple slices.
- Place the apple slices over the crust, mounting them slightly one on top of each other in a circular fashion until you've used them all up. Add the crumble mixture on top, patting it down to fully cover the apples.
- Bake the pie in the oven for 50 minutes to 1 hour, covering it with aluminium foil if the topping becomes golden too soon. Serve at room temperature or warm.
