Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and mix using your fingers or a pastry cutter until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Press the dough into a greased baking sheet, ensuring an even layer.
  4. In another bowl, toss the apple slices with sugar, cinnamon, flour, and lemon juice. Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and cinnamon until crumbly. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the apples.
Baking
