Ingredients

For the pie crust:

  • 1 3/4 c. King Arthur Perfect Pastry Blend Flour
  • 1/2 c. King Arthur all purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 16 Tablespoons salted butter
  • 4-8 T. ice water

For the Pie Filling:

  • 3 apples peeled and sliced
  • 2 pears peeled and sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons King Arthur Pie Filling Enhancer
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon apple pie spice
  • 2 Tablespoons boiled cider

For the crumble:

  • 1/2 c. oats
  • 1/2 c. brown sugar
  • 1/2 c. King Arthur all purpose flour
  • 1 Tablespoon apple pie spice
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted Kerrygold butter
  • 1/4 c. caramel bits
  • 2 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • In a large bowl combine the pasty flour, all purpose flour, cinnamon, and sugar.
  • Add the salted butter 1 tablespoon at a time and mix with your hands until it looks like crumbly sand.
  • Add the ice water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough starts coming together. Using your hands, press the dough together. If it holds without crumbling it's ready.
  • Roll the dough into a ball and divide in half. Flatten each dough ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • After 30 minutes dust a surface with flour. Roll out one of the pie crusts in a circular shape. Carefully pick it up, using the rolling pin, and place it in the pie pan. Flute the edges if desired.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large bowl combine the apples, pears, pie filling enhancer, brown sugar, apple pie spice, and boiled cider. Toss to combine then pour into prepared crust.
  • To make the crumble topping combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, and apple pie spice in a medium bowl. Add the butter and rub it into the mixture with your fingers.
  • Sprinkle the crumble all over the top of the pie.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.
  • Pour the caramel bits and milk into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Mix well. If it isn't completely melted microwave for 15 additional seconds. Drizzle over top of the pie.
