Steps:
- Make the crust: Whisk the flour, granulated sugar and salt in a large bowl. Rub the butter pieces into the flour using your fingers until pea-size pieces form. Drizzle in the vinegar and ice water; stir gently with a fork to combine. If the dough doesn't hold together when you squeeze it, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Turn out the dough onto a piece of plastic wrap and form into a disk; wrap tightly. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch round. Ease into a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the edges, leaving a 1-inch overhang, then tuck the overhanging dough under itself; crimp the edges with a fork. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Meanwhile, make the crumb topping: Mix the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt in a medium bowl. Rub the butter into the mixture with your fingers until no longer floury and crumbs form. Freeze until ready to use.
- Make the filling: Place a foil-lined baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat to 400˚. Mix the apples, melted butter, both sugars, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Spoon the filling into the chilled pie crust. Pat the crumb mixture on top.
- Bake the pie on the hot baking sheet until lightly browned, about 30 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 350˚ and bake until the apples are completely soft when pierced with a paring knife, 60 to 80 more minutes. (If the topping is getting too dark, cover loosely with foil.) Transfer the pie to a rack to cool completely.

Tips:
- Perfect Crust: For a flaky crust, use a combination of butter and shortening. Keep the butter and shortening cold and work quickly to avoid overworking the dough.
- Chilling the Dough: After mixing the dough, chill it for at least 30 minutes before rolling. This will make the dough easier to work with and prevent it from shrinking in the oven.
- Blind Baking: Before filling the pie, blind bake the crust for 10-15 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom. Use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the crust while baking.
- Apple Filling: Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady are all good choices.
- Spices: Add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger to enhance the flavor of the apples.
- Crumb Topping: Make sure the crumb topping is evenly distributed over the filling to ensure a crunchy topping throughout the pie.
- Baking the Pie: Bake the pie at a high temperature for the first 15-20 minutes to set the crust, then reduce the temperature to finish baking.
- Cooling the Pie: Allow the pie to cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out.
