Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. To make the pie crust, in a large bowl, mix 2.5 cups of flour and 0.5 teaspoons of salt.
3. Cut 10 tablespoons of butter into the flour mixture using a pastry cutter or fork until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Add in the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
5. Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. For the filling, peel, core, and slice the apples into quarter-inch slices.
7. In a large bowl, toss the apples with lemon juice, then add 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 0.5 cups of light brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoons of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of cornstarch, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Stir to combine well.
8. Roll out the chilled pie dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the dough into the dish, trimming any excess.

10. To make the topping, mix 1.5 cups flour and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar in a bowl.
11. Cut 8 tablespoons of butter into the flour mixture until it forms a crumbly texture.
12. Evenly distribute the crumb topping over the apples.
13. Place the pie on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
