Peel around 6 to 8 granny smith apples, removing all the apple slices from the core.

Add the sliced apples to a large bowl.

Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/3 cup of sugar, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the apples.

Combine and mix well, then set aside.

In a bowl, add 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 3/4 cup of packed light brown sugar, and mix.

Cut in salted butter until the mixture is crumbly (if using unsalted butter, add a pinch of salt).

Prepare a 9-inch store-bought unbaked pie crust.

Add the dressed apples into the pie crust and pat down gently.

Top the apples with the entire bowl of crumb topping.

Place the pie on a baking sheet to catch any spills.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 50 minutes.

Remove from the oven and allow to set for about an hour before serving.
