If not already prepared, make the pie crust. Keep the crust unbaked or parbake it for 15-20 minutes for a flakier crust.

Preheat the oven to 400℉.

To make the filling: In a large mixing bowl, place the sliced apples. Add 1/3 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, the cinnamon, vanilla, and lemon juice. Stir until the apples are evenly coated. Set filling aside at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes.

To make the crumble: In a medium bowl, combine the 1/2 cup flour, cinnamon, sugar, brown sugar, and cold butter. Using a pastry knife, cut the butter into the mixture until it forms a crumble.

Transfer the apple slices into the 9-inch pie plate with the unbaked or parbaked crust. Spread the filling out evenly and top with the crumble mixture.

Bake for 40 to 50 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Note, if your oven runs hot or if you have parbaked the crust, we suggest using a pie shield or placing a strip of aluminum foil over the edge of the crust to prevent it from getting too dark.

Allow pie to cool partially or completely before slicing.
