Ingredients

• 1 basic Flaky Pie Crust (made or bought)
• 1/4 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
• 1 Tbsp. freshly grated ginger or 1 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• Pinch kosher salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
• 2 lb. Jonagold, Ida Red or Golden Delicious apples (about 4 large), peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 1 lb. Granny Smith apples (about 2 large), peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 1 lb. Granny Smith apples (about 2 large), peeled and sliced 1/2 inch thick
• 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp. cornstarch

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. On a lightly floured surface, toll the disk of dough into a 12-inch circle. Fit it into the bottom and up the sides a 9-inch pie plate. If necessary, trim the dough so the overhang in even all the way around (about 1/2 inch from the edge of the pie plate). Fold the overhang under itself to create a thicker rim of dough and crimp as desired. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

2. In a food processor, pulse the brown sugar, ginger, cinnamon and salt to combine. Add the flour and pulse to incorporate. Add the butter and pulse just until the mixture forms large clumps. Transfer to a bowl and gently toss with the oats; refrigerate until ready to use.

3. In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice. Add the granulated sugar and cornstarch and toss to coat. Transfer the apples to the pie crust. Top with the crumb mixture and bake for 1 hour. Cover with foil and bake until the apples are tender (use a wooden pick to check doneness) and the topping is golden brown, 18 to 22 minutes more. Let stand for at least 1 hour before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
