Dutch Apple Pie

The recipe can be found here
I used two different recipes for this pie, because the recipe online said "your favorite pie crust." I used a pie crust recipe written down in a note book, that my family has used forever, so I don't know really where it came from, but it tastes great! I also had to make a half batch of the pie crust, because I did not need to make a crust topping (It was a crumble topping). 


Ingredients: 

1 your favorite homemade pie crusts or 1 ready-made pie crust (see below for recipe)
5 1/2 cups peeled cored sliced cooking apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Topping:

3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/3 cup butter or 1/3 cup margarine, room temperature

Directions:

2
Fit pie crust into pie plate.
3
In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, lemon juice, both sugars,flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
4

5
Prepare topping:.
6
In a medium bowl, with a pastry blender or a fork, mix flour, both sugars, and butter until coarsely crumbled.

Sprinkle evenly over apples.
