Brown Sugar Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients using fork or hands until a crumble dough forms (you can also use a food processor, but I find my hands work better).
- Grease a pie pan.
- Pour crumbles into pie pan and shape dough into pan. I recommend sprinkling flour onto the dough and your fingers to help shape the dough correctly.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
Apple Filling
- Slice 4 cups of apples thinly.
- Melt butter on medium heat, add apples and cook until tender stirring occasionally (about 12 minutes).
- Add 2 tbsp lemon juice and 1/4 cup sugar. Cook for 3 minutes.
- Fill pie crust with apple filling and set aside.
Brown Sugar Pecan Crumble
- Roughly chop pecan halves.
- Mix chopped pecans, brown sugar, butter, and flour in a small bowl.
- Pour mixture over apple filling.
- Bake pie for 25-30 minutes until topping is golden brown.
