Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Position rack in the bottom third of the oven. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and cream of tartar. Drizzle in melted butter, stirring until just combined and crumbly. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Transfer 1 ¼ cups of the crust mixture to a separate bowl. Add ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; knead with your fingertips until well combined but still crumbly. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze crumb topping until ready to use. (8 minutes)

04

Step

Pour apple cider vinegar and ice water into the remaining crust mixture; mix to form a dough. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, using a flat-bottomed measuring cup to smooth the bottom crust. Crimp the edges with a lightly floured fork. Freeze until ready to use. (15 minutes)

05

Step

In a large bowl, gently toss the apple slices with ½ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt to coat evenly. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Pile the apple mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the frozen snickerdoodle crumb topping evenly over the apples. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Bake on the bottom rack in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Rotate the pie 180 degrees. (20 minutes)

08

Step

Continue baking until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly, about 50 minutes more, covering the crust with aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through to prevent over-browning. (50 minutes)

09

Step

Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing and serving, about 1 hour. (60 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the apple filling.
If the snickerdoodle topping becomes too brown during baking, tent the pie loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.

    Be sure to watch the crust carefully while baking to prevent it from burning. The foil trick worked perfectly!

  • Corrine Hudson

    Next time, I might try using a combination of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples for a more complex flavor.

  • Esperanza Shanahanwyman

    The freezing step for both the crust and topping is crucial. Don't skip it!

    Fantastic recipe! I doubled it for a party, and it was a smash.

    The crust was a little too crumbly for me. I might add a bit more butter next time.

    I was a bit intimidated by the crust, but it was surprisingly easy to make. Definitely worth the effort!

    My family devoured this pie in one sitting. The apple filling was perfectly spiced, and the crust was out of this world.
