Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Line a 9-inch pie pan with half of the dough.
- Toss apples with 1 tablespoon lemon juice in a medium-sized bowl.
- Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl. Pour over apples and toss. Stir in applesauce. Spoon this mixture into pie pan and dot with butter.
- Cut remaining crust into strips; using every other one arrange over top of pie. Lattice in remaining strips (going the other direction, crossing over and under every other strip).
- For crunch topping, combine flour, sugar and salt in a bowl. Cut in butter with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over the top of crust.
- Bake for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350°F and continue to bake for about 45 minutes, or until crust and topping are golden brown. (My pie with golden delicious apples was done after 30 minutes at this step, so watch your pie!).
- Note: It helps to make a foil ring to put around pie crust edge to keep it from browning too fast.

Steps:
- Place apples in a bowl and toss with lemon juice.
- Pour into unbaked pie shell.
- Mix together remaining ingredients, except butter and sprinkle evenly over apples.
- DRIZZLE melted butter over the top, cover every square inch and bake in a 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
- Cover with foil if needed as the nuts tend to burn.
- Serve with vanilla bean ice cream.
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples: This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Add some spices to the apples: This will enhance their flavor. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Use a good quality pie crust: This will make a big difference in the overall taste of your pie. You can either make your own or buy a pre-made crust.
- Don't overfill the pie crust: This will make it difficult to seal the pie properly and it will also make the pie more likely to burst.
- Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15 minutes: This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Reduce the temperature and continue baking until the pie is golden brown and the filling is bubbling: This will ensure that the pie is cooked through.
- Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving: This will allow the filling to set and the crust to crisp up.
