Ingredients

Dough for single-crust pieTOPPING:1/2 cup sugar1/2 cup all-purpose flour1/2 cup cold butter, cubedFILLING:1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons all-purpose flour1 teaspoon ground cinnamon1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg5 cups chopped peeled tart apples (about 5 medium)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim crust to 1/2 in. beyond rim of plate; flute edge. Refrigerate while preparing topping and filling.

For topping, in a small bowl, mix sugar and flour; cut in butter until crumbly. For filling, in a large bowl, mix sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add apples and toss to coat. Transfer to crust. Sprinkle with topping.

Bake 10 minutes. Reduce oven setting to 375°. Bake until topping is browned and apples are tender, 40-45 minutes. Cover edge loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes if needed to prevent overbrowning. Cool on a wire rack.
