Almond Crumb Crust (recipe follows)
3 1/2 pounds assorted apples (such as Macoun, Cortland, Jonagold, Empire, or Rome), peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 tablespoons)
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons blanched almonds, finely ground
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 sticks (3/4 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into small pieces
(makes enough for one 9-inch pie)

1
Preheat the oven to 350F.
2
Evenly and firmly press a little more than half of the crumbs (about 2 1/2 cups) into the bottom, up the sides, and onto the rim of a 9-inch glass pie plate.
3
Press firmly into the edges.
4
Freeze pie shell until firm, about 15 minutes.
5
In a large bowl, toss together apples, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
6
Pour mixture into the chilled pie shell, mounding apples slightly in the center.
7
Dot with butter.
8
Sprinkle the remaining crumbs in clumps over the apples to cover completely.
9
Bake, rotating halfway through, until the crust turns golden and the juices begin to bubble, about 1 hour.
10
Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
11
The pie can be kept at room temperature, loosely covered with plastic wrap, for up to 2 days.
12
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, almonds, sugar, and salt.
13
Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with a few larger clumps remaining.
14
Using your fingers, squeeze the mixture together to create pea-size to 3/4-inch pieces.
15
If not using right away, cover and chill until ready to proceed.
