Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Gradually add ice water until dough comes together. Shape into a disc, wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the Apple Filling: Toss sliced apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Let sit for 15 minutes.
- Create the Crumble Topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Cut in cold butter until clumpy. Stir in walnuts or oats if using.
- Assemble the Pie: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Pour apple filling into crust, topping generously with crumble.
- Bake the Pie: Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.
