A twist on the classic apple pie featuring a tart Granny Smith filling and a crunchy, buttery maple pecan streusel topping.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pre-made or homemade 9-inch pie crust
- 6 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F (190C).
- Roll out the pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie plate, trimming and pricking the bottom with a fork.
- In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with 1/2 cup brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt until coated.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared crust, mounding the fruit slightly in the center.
- In a separate bowl, combine chopped pecans, flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and cold butter. Rub the butter in with your fingers until crumbly.
- Stir in the maple syrup until the topping forms moist clumps.
- Spread the maple pecan topping evenly over the apples.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and cool for at least 2 hours before slicing to allow the filling to set.
