- 190 grams All-purpose flour

- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 60 milliliters Ice water
- 6 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 100 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 2 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Cornstarch

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 190 grams of flour, 50 grams of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 113 grams of cold, cubed butter.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingertips, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Slowly add 60 milliliters of ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough just comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and crimp the edges. Set aside.
In another large bowl, toss the sliced apples with 100 grams of brown sugar, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, 0.25 teaspoon of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1.5 tablespoons of cornstarch. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.
Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust and spread it into an even layer.
For the crumb topping, mix 120 grams of flour, 90 grams of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 80 grams of melted butter in a medium bowl. Stir until crumbly.
Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apple filling, covering it completely.
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the crumb topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the filling to set. Serve with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
