1 9-inch pie crust
Filling:
2 - 2 1/2 lbs apples (mixture of sweet and tart cooking apples)
1/4 cup turbinado (aka sugar in the raw) or brown sugar
2 tbsp tapioca flour
2 tbsp apple butter
1 1/2 tsp lemon or lime juice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp grains of paradise/cardamom/black pepper, freshly ground (you can mix or use whichever you happen to have)
Streusel topping:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
3 tbsp packed light-brown sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature

1
Preheat oven to 425u00b0F. Place an oven rack at the lowest possible setting.
2
For the filling:
3
Core the apples. Slice into 3/4-inch chunks. Toss all of the apples with the sugar, tapioca flour, apple butter, citrus juice, salt, and spices.
4
For the streusel:
5
In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the butter until fine crumbs form.
6
Using hands, squeeze together most of the mixture to form large clumps. The topping can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 6 months.
7
Assemble and bake the pie:
8
Pour apple mixture into the pie shell making sure to transfer any residual liquid as well. It will seem very full. Press streusel mixture onto the top.
9
Place the pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake the lowest rack of the oven for 50 minutes until the apples are cooked through but not mushy. Remove and cool on a rack at least 4 hours or until almost room temperature.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
