Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt to make the crust.

  • While the dough chills, preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • In a large bowl, toss together sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
  • Roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness and place it into a 9-inch pie pan.

Assembly and Baking

  • Pour the apple filling into the crust, spreading it evenly.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and butter for the crumb topping.
  • Sprinkle the crumb topping generously over the apple filling.
  • Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 350°F and continue baking for another 30-35 minutes.
  • Let the pie cool for about 30 minutes before slicing.
