- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1/4 cup ice cold Water
For Filling
- 3 1/2 pounds Apples, peeled, cored, sliced

Directions
- Firstly, preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
To Make Crust
- Take a medium sized bowl and mix flour and salt in it.
- Cut the shortenings, with a pastry blender or 2 knives, in the flour mixture to form rough fragments.
- Mix small proportions of water, barely 1 tbsp each time, flipping occasionally with a fork. Soon, the dough will start to form.

- Roll the dough on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin, keeping the size of 12 inch circle.
- Put it into a 9 inch pie pan. Remove the surplus dough. Make sure that you leave about an inch extended portion.
- Finely pinch edges to flute.
To Prepare Filling
- Take lemon juice, apples, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon and salt in a large sized bowl for preparing filling.
- Spoon the mixture uniformly into the outside layer.
To Prepare Topping
- Take a small bowl to mix brown sugar, nutmeg and flour properly.
- Cut butter into this mixture with a pastry blender or 2 knives to form coarse crumbs.
- Now take filling and spray the crumb topping evenly over it so that it completely covers the filling.
- Cover the crust with foil to prevent it from burning.
- Bake for nearly 40 minutes. Keep on spinning it intermittently.
- Now remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Your pie is now ready to serve.
