Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, mix together the sliced apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Ensure the apple slices are evenly coated. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the all-purpose flour, remaining 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and rolled oats.
Melt the unsalted butter and drizzle it over the dry crumb topping ingredients. Use a fork to mix until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Place the low-sodium pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Press any overhanging edges to form a crust around the dish.
Pour the marinated apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading evenly.
Evenly sprinkle the crumb mixture over the top of the apple filling.
Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your Low Sodium Dutch Apple Pie warm or at room temperature.
