Ingredients

Pie Crust

1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
¼ cup peanut butter, chilled
½ cup coconut oil, chilled and cut to ½ inch chunks
¼ cup ice water

Apple Filling

5 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Walnut Crumble Topping

⅛ cup sugar
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup walnuts, chopped
1 tablespoon peanut butter

Instructions

Prepare the Crust

In a medium bowl, mix together flour and salt. Add chilled peanut butter and chunks of chilled coconut oil.
Slowly start adding ice water. Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and, using floured hands, fold the dough into itself until the flour is fully incorporated into the fats. Form it into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it cool in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

Make the Filling

In a large bowl, stir together sliced apples, flour, cinnamon, sugar and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400˚F/200˚C.
Roll out the chilled pie dough: On a floured work surface roll out the pie dough until you have a circle about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Carefully place it into a 9-inch pie dish, tucking it in with your fingers to make sure it’s smooth. Spoon the apple filling into the crust and trim excess dough off the edges.

Make the Topping

In a medium bowl, stir together sugar, cinnamon, flour, walnuts and peanut butter. The topping should be thick and crumbly. Sprinkle it over the apples.
Place the pie onto a large baking sheet and bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
Let the pie cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
