Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Unsalted butter
• 4 tablespoons Cold water
• 6 medium Tart apples (e.g., Granny Smith, Cortland, or Empire)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 0.75 cup Rolled oats
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the crust, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon salt in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Cut in 0.5 cup of chilled unsalted butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add 4 tablespoons of cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into a 9-inch pie dish, trimming and crimping the edges. Set aside.

Step 6

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a large bowl, toss the slices with 0.75 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 0.5 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon cornstarch until evenly coated.

Step 7

Transfer the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

For the crumb topping, mix 1 cup all-purpose flour, 0.5 cup granulated sugar, 0.25 teaspoon salt, 0.75 cup rolled oats, and 0.5 cup chopped pecans (if using) in a medium bowl.

Step 9

Cut in 0.75 cup chilled unsalted butter into the topping mixture until it forms pea-sized crumbs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.

Step 11

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any drips and bake for 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

Step 12

Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
