Step 1
Mix flour and salt in a bowl. Add cold butter cubes and rub with fingertips until breadcrumb texture.
Step 2
Sprinkle ice water 1 tbsp at a time, tossing with a fork until dough just comes together.
Step 3
Shape dough into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill 30 minutes.
Step 4
Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan; press in and prick bottom with a fork.
Step 5
Peel, core, and slice apples into 0.25-inch wedges. Toss with sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
Step 6
Arrange apple slices in the crust, mounding slightly toward the center.
Step 7
Mix brown sugar and oats in a bowl. Cut in cold butter until crumbly texture forms.
Step 8
Spread streusel evenly over apples, pressing gently so it adheres.
Step 9
Bake 40–45 minutes until crust edges are golden and apples bubble at the sides.
