For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the apple filling. If the snickerdoodle topping becomes too brown during baking, tent the pie loosely with aluminum foil to prevent burning. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the ultimate indulgence.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Position rack in the bottom third of the oven. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and cream of tartar. Drizzle in melted butter, stirring until just combined and crumbly. (5 minutes)
03
StepTransfer 1 ¼ cups of the crust mixture to a separate bowl. Add ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; knead with your fingertips until well combined but still crumbly. Cover with plastic wrap and freeze crumb topping until ready to use. (8 minutes)
04
StepPour apple cider vinegar and ice water into the remaining crust mixture; mix to form a dough. Transfer to a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth. Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate, using a flat-bottomed measuring cup to smooth the bottom crust. Crimp the edges with a lightly floured fork. Freeze until ready to use. (15 minutes)
05
StepIn a large bowl, gently toss the apple slices with ½ cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon sea salt to coat evenly. (5 minutes)
06
StepPile the apple mixture into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the frozen snickerdoodle crumb topping evenly over the apples. (2 minutes)
07
StepBake on the bottom rack in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Rotate the pie 180 degrees. (20 minutes)
08
StepContinue baking until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly, about 50 minutes more, covering the crust with aluminum foil or a pie shield halfway through to prevent over-browning. (50 minutes)
09
StepTransfer the pie to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing and serving, about 1 hour. (60 minutes)
