Apple Crumb Pie
Apple Crumb Pie features a homemade pie crust filled with thinly sliced apples tossed with lemon juice, sugar, and spices, topped with a crumbly mixture of flour, brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The crumb topping bakes to a warm golden brown, contrasting with tender, spiced apple filling beneath. The pie balances sweet and tart flavors with a satisfying textural combination of flaky crust and crunchy topping.

- Empty it into a sheet of plastic wrap and press it quickly into a ball (you don't want the heat of your hands to melt the butter) and refrigerate for 4 hours before rolling it out to use.
- Roll out the pie crust 1/4" thick on a floured surface and add to a deep dish 9" pie plate then refrigerate.

Crumb Topping:
- Using a fork or a pastry cutter, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly then pour it over the apples.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes covered very loosely with foil.
- Remove foil and bake an additional 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is crisp and golgen brown.
