Ruby Tuesday Apple Pie

Ingredients

• 1 frozen deep-dish apple pie (9-inch, double crust or old-fashioned)
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup light brown sugar, divided
• 3½ tsp cinnamon, divided
• ¼ tsp allspice
• ¼ tsp ground clove
• 1½ tsp lemon juice
• ¾ cup flour
• ½ cup sugar
• 10 Tbsp frozen butter
• 1⅓ cups chopped walnuts
• Ice cream (optional)

Directions

1. Let the pie thaw at room temperature for 30–45 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. In a small saucepan, melt the stick of butter over medium heat. Add ½ cup of the brown sugar, 1½ teaspoons of the cinnamon, the allspice, cloves, and lemon juice. Stir until blended and the sugar is melted, about 3 minutes.
3. Cut an X in the center of the top crust and fold the crust back. Pour the butter mixture evenly into the pie, then replace the crust, leaving 4 vent holes and sealing the rest.
4. Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the heat to 325°F.
5. Grate the frozen butter into a medium bowl. Toss with the flour, remaining sugars, remaining cinnamon, and the walnuts.
6. Wrap a foil band around the edge of the pie to create a lip, then sprinkle the topping evenly over the pie.
7. Bake 30–40 minutes more. Rest 10 minutes and serve with ice cream.
