For an extra depth of flavor, try adding a tablespoon of brandy or dark rum to the apple filling. If you don't have grapefruit peel, you can substitute with lemon or orange zest. The crumb topping can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 cup cold butter, and salt. Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough just comes together. (10 minutes)
03
StepTurn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Pat into a disc, then roll out to a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie plate, crimping the edges. (10 minutes)
04
StepIn a large saucepan, combine chopped apples, raisins, apple cider, orange juice, and grapefruit peel. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cook until the apples are softened, about 15 minutes. (20 minutes)
05
StepStir in 3/4 cup sugar, 1/2 crushed graham cracker, cinnamon, and cloves. Mix well and remove from heat. (5 minutes)
06
StepIn a separate bowl, combine the remaining 3/4 cup flour, 6 tablespoons cold butter, 1/3 cup sugar, and remaining 1/2 crushed graham cracker. Use your fingers or a pastry blender to mix until the mixture forms coarse crumbs. (5 minutes)
07
StepPour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the filling. (5 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and bake for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. (45 minutes)
09
StepLet the pie cool completely on a wire rack before serving. This allows the filling to set. (60 minutes)
