Ingredients

• 5 cups Red Delicious apples, peeled, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 1/3 cup plus 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie shell
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

• 1
  Preheat oven to 425°F. Place baking sheet in oven while preheating oven. (Placing pie on hot baking sheet helps bottom crust to bake more evenly.)
• 2
  Combine apples, lemon juice and vanilla extract in large bowl; set aside.
• 3
  Combine brown sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in medium bowl. Add brown sugar mixture to apple mixture; toss to coat. Spoon into pie shell; set aside.
• 4
  Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add walnuts and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly browned and fragrant, for about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.
• 5
  Combine remaining 1/3 cup flour and granulated sugar in small bowl. Cut in butter using pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle evenly over pie. Top with walnuts.
• 6
  Bake until pie is bubbly and apples are tender in center, about 35 to 40 minutes.
