Prep apples by peeling, coring, and slicing them, then drizzle with lemon juice and freeze them ahead of time.

Defrost the apples before using them in the pie.

Mix together the sliced apples with cornstarch, light brown sugar, white sugar, ground cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and salt.

Prepare a 9-inch pie crust by parbaking it at 350°F for 5 minutes.

Make the crumb topping by cutting cold butter into small pieces and mixing it with flour, pecans, oats, and light brown sugar.

Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apple filling without pressing down.

Cover the edges of the pie with foil to prevent burning.

Bake the pie at 350°F for a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes, removing the foil after 35 minutes.
