Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups sliced granny smith apples or other tart, firm apples
  • 2 Tbsp orange juice
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • tsp ground cloves
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup cold salted butter cubed

Instructions
 

  • Spray a 9" pie plate with non stick cooking spray. Preheat your oven to 375°.
  • Peel and core the apples. Cut them into 1/2″ thick slices. Toss them with the orange juice and spread them in your pie pan.
  • Combine the flour, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt in a food processor or blender. Cut the cold butter into chunks and dump in.
  • Pulse the mixture a few times until the butter is broken into small pieces. Continue pulsing until the mixture turns a darker brown color and starts clumping together.
  • Spread the topping evenly over the apples in the pan.
  • Bake at 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
