Make the Dough
Whisk flour, salt, and sugar.
Cut in cold salted butter until pea-sized pieces remain.
Add cold water and gently mix until dough comes together (don’t overwork).
Press into a disc, wrap, and chill at least 1 hour.
Make the Apple Filling
Peel and slice apples ¼ inch thick.
Toss with sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice (optional), salt, lemon juice, vanilla, and flour/cornstarch.
Rest 10 minutes.
Make the Crumb Topping
Mix flour, both sugars, cinnamon, and salt.
Add cold salted butter and crumble with fingers until sandy with some clumps.
Assemble the Pie
Roll dough into a 12-inch circle and place in a 9-inch pie dish.
Add the apple filling and dot with salted butter.
Cover with crumb topping.
Chill the assembled pie for 10–20 minutes.
Bake
Bake at 425°F for 20 minutes.
Reduce heat to 350°F and bake 35–45 minutes longer, until golden and bubbling.
Cool
Let cool at least 2 hours before slicing so the juices set.
