Ingredients

1. 1 Grannysmith apple
2. 6 Honeycrisp apples
3. 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
4. 5 tablespoons brown sugar, divided
5. 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
6. ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
7. ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
8. ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
9. ½ teaspoon cornstarch
10. 1 tablespoon lemon juice
11. ½ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
12. ¼ cup chopped pecans
13. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
14. 1 batch Basic Flaky Piecrust dough or store-bought pie dough, chilled
15. 1 egg
16. turbinado sugar, for sprinkling

Directions

1. Cut the Grannysmith apple and 1 Honeycrisp apple into a small dice (about 2½ cups) and place in a medium-sized bowl. Add the granulated sugar, 3 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and cornstarch; stir to combine. Stir in the lemon juice.
2. In a small bowl, combine the oats, remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar, remaining 1 tablespoon flour, and pecans. Add the pieces of butter and incorporate them with your hands until a crumble forms. Add the crumble to the apple mixture and stir to combine.
3. Slice off the very tops of the remaining 5 Honeycrisp apples and, using a spoon and a paring knife, hollow out the insides of the apples, being sure to remove the core and seeds. Using the very tip of the paring knife, cut two horizontal slits on either side of each apple, just barely piercing the skin, being careful not to slice through the apple’s wall (this acts as a steam vent for the apples while baking). Divide the apple filling evenly amongst the apples.
4. Preheat oven to 375° F. Remove the piecrust from the refrigerator and cut into small strips (just longer than the width of each apple). Weave the strips into a lattice pattern atop each apple. Add 1 inch of water to an 8-by-8 inch baking dish and place the apples inside.
5. Whisk the egg in a small bowl and brush the egg wash onto each apple’s lattice. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cover the baking dish with foil, ensuring the foil isn’t touching the tops of the apples. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples have softened.
