Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F degrees.
Roll out pie dough and transfer to pie plate.
In a large bowl, toss apple slices in lemon juice, making sure each piece is coated.

Pour apple mixture into pie crust and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine oats, sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.
Add cold butter and mix until mixture is coarse and crumbly and resembles small pebbles.
Evenly spread crumb mixture over apples, making sure to get it around the edges of the dish.
