Ingredients

  • 1 sheet prepared pie crust dough available in the freezer section of the grocery store, or one recipe pastry pie crust

Pie filling

  • 4 large tart apples such as Granny Smith, peeled and chopped (about 5 1/2 cups chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg freshly grated if possible

Topping

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup butter at room temperature

Instructions

  • Thaw the pie crust (if using frozen), or prepare pie crust. Please note, frozen pie crust sheets usually need to thaw several hours.
  • Preheat oven to 375*F.
  • Use the ring from the lid of the jars to cut 6 circles of dough. Place one circle of dough into the bottom of each jar and use your fingers to press the dough into the bottom of the jar and up the sides a bit.
  • Peel and chop apples and place in a large bowl.
  • Add lemon juice and toss to coat well.
  • Add both sugars, flour and spices and stir to fully coat apples.
  • Scoop apples into the prepared jars, pressing the apples in as tightly as possible. Divide the apples between the 6 jars.
  • Prepare the crumb topping by combining all ingredients and mixing together with a pastry blender, or fork until the butter is in small pieces and the mixture is crumbly, yet well combined.
  • Top each jar of apples with a generous portion of crumb topping, pressing down a bit as needed. The apples will cook down quite a bit while baking, so you want to start with full jars.
  • Bake the jars on a large baking sheet (because the pies will likely bubble over a bit while baking). Bake 35 minutes at 375*F.
  • Cool at least 20 minutes before serving.
  • Serve as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

Notes

The pies may be made up to two days in advance. Keep covered and in the refrigerator when storing for more than 1 day. Serve at room temperature, or heat for 20-30 seconds in the microwave before serving.
