Apple Pie with Graham Cracker Crust combines tender, spiced apples with a buttery graham cracker base and a crumbly streusel topping. It’s a simple, no-fuss recipe that delivers all the cozy flavors of a classic apple pie, perfect for holidays or weeknight desserts.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). If you use a homemade crust, I recommend par-baking it for 7-9 minutes. Cool completely before filling. Storebought graham cracker crusts do not need to be par-baked.
Crumble Topping
Mix the flour, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl.
¾ cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Add the butter and mix with a fork or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
5 tablespoons butter
Place the bowl in the freezer for about 15 minutes while you prepare the pie filling.
Apple Pie
Peel and core your apples, and slice them ¼-inch thick.
3 pounds apples
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the apples and stir to coat them in butter.
2 tablespoons butter
Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Cook for 5 minutes while stirring frequently.
⅔ cup granulated sugar, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ⅛ teaspoon salt
Sprinkle the flour over the mixture and cook an additional 5 minutes, stirring continuously. The apples should be tender and the juices thick. Remove from heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar.
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Pour the prepared apple mixture into the graham cracker crust, spreading evenly in the pan. Then, remove the crumble topping from the freezer and sprinkle it over the apples.
1 graham cracker crust
Place the pie in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the filling bubbles and the crumble is golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool completely before slicing.
Notes
Let the pie cool completely before slicing. To serve the pie warm, reheat it at 350°F (180°C) for 15 minutes or heat individual slices in the microwave. Storage: This pie is best kept refrigerated. It is best enjoyed within 2 days as the crust will begin to get soggy. You can freeze the whole pie or pie slices. Wrap them in plastic wrap and heavy-duty aluminum, or place them in an airtight container. Store for 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
