Preparation Time: 30 minutes

Cooking Time: 50-60 minutes

Difficulty Level: 2/5 (Moderate)

Preparation Method Steps:

For the Crust: 1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. 2. Add the butter cubes and use your fingers to work them into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. 3. Add the ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough just comes together. Avoid overmixing. 4. Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

For the Apple Filling: 1. In a large bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss to coat.

For the Oatmeal Streusel: 1. In a medium bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon. Stir until well combined.

To Assemble the Pie: 1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). 2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the dough to a 12-inch (30cm) circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch (23cm) pie plate and trim the edges. 3. Pour the apple filling into the pie crust and spread evenly. 4. Roll out the remaining dough to an 11-inch (28cm) circle. Cut the dough into 1-inch (2.5cm) wide strips. 5. Arrange the dough strips over the apple filling, forming a lattice pattern. 6. Sprinkle the oatmeal streusel evenly over the top of the pie.

To Bake: 1. Bake the pie for 50-60 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. 2. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
