• "This pie was a huge hit at my family gathering! The apples were tart and flavorful, and the crumb topping was buttery and crispy."
• "I'm not usually a fan of apple pie, but this recipe changed my mind. The combination of spices and lemon juice in the filling was divine."

Special Precautions and Tips:

• Use a sharp knife to peel and slice the apples evenly.
• Don't overmix the crumb topping. A rougher texture will give the pie extra crunch.
• If you don't have old-fashioned rolled oats, you can use quick-cooking oats instead.
• Allow the pie to cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop further.
