Directions
Preheat oven 450℉ (230℃).
Mix sugar; nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and lemon rind.
Line a pie plate with pastry and fill with a few apple chunks; sprinkle on some of the sugar mixture and a bit of lemon juice.
Add more apples, more sugar mixture, and lemon juice; continue until pie pan is full, making sure the top layer of apples is liberally covered with sugar and seasonings.
Sprinkle top with crumb mixture.
CRUMB TOPPING: Combine sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt.
Cut in butter by hand or in food processor until mixture is crumbly.
Sprinkle on top of apple pie.
Bake crumb-topped pie 15 minutes, reduce heat to 350℉ (180℃) F for 30 minutes, until crumbs are golden brown and apples sizzle.
Serve warm with Cheddar Cheese or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
