1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozFlour
1/4 cup 49g / 1.7ozGranulated sugar
1/4 cup 40g / 1.4ozLight brown sugar - (packed)
1 teaspoon 5mlGround cinnamon

1/2 cup 118mlPecan pieces
  Assembly
6   Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, (large)
  And thinly sliced - (abt 2 1/4 lbs)
1/3 cup 65g / 2.3ozSugar
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlGround cinnamon
1   Egg white - whisked until frothy
  Vanilla ice cream - for serving

Recipe Instructions

Combine flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in bowl of food processor. Add butter and pecans. Pulse until dough clumps together unevenly, 8 to 10 pulses. Transfer to plate and refrigerate while preparing apples.

Put apples in large bowl. Combine sugar and cinnamon. Add to apples and toss until uniformly coated. Transfer to 4-cup-capacity ceramic, glass or terra cotta pie plate, tucking slices together and mounding in center (this bulk will cook down).

Spoon on Crumble Topping, spreading over surface evenly; gently pat into place. Dip brush in egg white and dab onto Crumble, repeating as needed; it's OK if entire surface is not dabbed.

Place plate on baking sheet to catch any drips. Bake in lower part of oven at 375 degrees until well-browned and bubbly, about 50 minutes. Test tenderness by piercing apples with toothpick or tip of paring knife; apples should be tender but not soft.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream. (Can be baked in advance, completely cooled, covered in foil and refrigerated for 2 days, or frozen up to 1 month, wrapped airtight after frozen solid. Let come to room temperature, unwrapped, before reheating. To reheat, bake uncovered in 325-degree oven for 20 minutes.)

This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
