The world champion, who rides for the Boels-Dolmans team, edged out Sweden's Emma Johansson to win the race, which is now part of the Women's WorldTour.
The pair broke clear on the final climb, leaving a group of nine to chase them down.
With the gap closing in the final kilometre, the pair had a long sprint to the line with Armitstead prevailing.
It is the 27-year-old's fourth win of the season after success at Omloop het Nieuwsblad, Strade Bianche and Trofeo Binda.
