Heat oven to 425°

Crumble

Melt butter over the stovetop or microwave.
Combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix in melted butter and then add flour. Mix until the crumble is moist and clumps in your hands when mixing. Set aside for later.

Crust

Combine flour and salt in a medium size bowl and mix. Next, add Crisco and mix with your hands until it's thoroughly mixed.
Add water a tablespoon at a time. Once you've added the water and it feels perfect, add just a ½ tablespoon more.
Roll out on floured parchment paper. Transfer to pie plate and mold edges.

Apple Filling

Peel, core, and slice apples as thinly as you can. Place apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a squeeze of lemon in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly.
Pour apple mixture into the prepared pie crust.

Bake

Top the apple pie with crumble.
Cover the top of the pie with tin foil.
Bake pie for 40-50 minutes. In the last couple of minutes, remove the tin foil to brown the crumble slightly.
Cool on rack and serve warm.
