Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 3 tablespoons Ice water
• 6 Large apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 cups Brown sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour for filling
• 0.5 cups Rolled oats
• 0.33 cups All-purpose flour for topping
• 0.25 cups Brown sugar for topping
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon for topping
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened applesauce for topping

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

To make the crust, combine 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. Add 0.25 cup of unsweetened applesauce and mix until crumbly.

Step 3

Add 3 tablespoons of ice water to the flour mixture, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough forms. Gather the dough into a ball and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish.

Step 4

Transfer the rolled-out dough to the pie dish, trimming and fluting the edges as desired. Set aside.

Step 5

For the filling, peel, core, and slice 6 large apples into thin slices. Place them in a large mixing bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

Step 6

Mix 0.5 cup of brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of ground nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour in a small bowl. Add this mixture to the apples and toss until evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture over the pie crust.

Step 7

To make the crumb topping, combine 0.5 cup rolled oats, 0.33 cup all-purpose flour, 0.25 cup brown sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of ground cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in 2 tablespoons of unsweetened applesauce until crumbly.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples in the pie.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. You may need to cover the edges with foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning.

Step 10

Once baked, let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
