CRUST STEPS
1. Combine all dry ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk them together.
2. Dice the stick of chilled butter into little pieces. Make sure the butter stays very cold!
3. Add the butter and half of the chilled water to the dry ingredients. Using your hands to mix the ingredients or a mixer with a paddle attachment by slowing pulsing everything very slowly. Add the rest of the water as needed until the dough comes together and form the dough into a disk.
4. If your butter got warm, wrap it in plastic wrap and put it back in the fridge for a little. If you were quick you can just start rolling it out.
5. Once the dough is in the pie pan cover the crust with parchment paper and fill it with dried beans and bake it in a 375 preheated oven for 12-15 minutes.
6. Let the crust kool for 15 minutes before adding your filling.

2. Evenly spread the filling into the pie crust.
CRUMB STEPS
1 Combine all ingredients into a bowl and mix until everything is equally mixed.
2. Spread the crumb over the apple filling.
3. Bake the pie at 350 for 35-45 minutes until golden brown.
