Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and granulated sugar for the crust. Cut in the diced butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the ice water, one tablespoon at a time, and mix until the dough comes together. Form the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a 9-inch pie dish and trim the edges.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for the filling. Mix until the apples are coated evenly.
Pour the apple filling into the prepared crust.
In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and diced butter for the topping. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the topping over the apple filling.
Bake the pie for 45-50 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Make sure the butter for the crust and topping is cold, as this will help to create a flaky texture.

Chill the dough before rolling it out to prevent it from sticking to the surface.

Use a sharp knife or apple slicer to cut the apples into even slices for the filling.

If the crust starts to brown too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top of the pie when serving for added flavor.
