Ingredients
- 5 Honeycrisp apples1 peeled, cored, and thinly sliced.
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup unsalted butter cold
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple pie spice
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs2
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Peel, core, and slice apples into thin slices and add to a large bowl and toss with lemon juice and vanilla extract.
- In a separate, medium bowl, use a pastry cutter to blend together the butter, sugars, apple pie spice, and cinnamon until a crumble forms.
- Add in the graham crackers crumbs and mix until completely combined. You may need to use your hands to blend the ingredients.
- Sprinkle half of the apple mixture in the bottom of an 8x8-inch pan3, then top it with half of the crumble mixture. Repeat the layers once more.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, until apples are tender. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes

- Graham crackers cannot be omitted but may be substituted for 3/4 cup all-purpose flour or fo shortbread cookie crumbs.
- This recipe calls for baking in an 8x8-inch square baking dish, but it can also be baked in a 9x9-inch dish or a 9 or 10-inch pie plate.
