Step-by-Step Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Pastry

In a bowl, combine 1 cup flour and salt. Cut in coconut oil with a fork or pastry blender until crumbly. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together. Roll into a circle 2 inches larger than your pie plate, then place and crimp edges.

Step 2: Make the Apple Filling

Preheat oven to 425°F. In a large bowl, mix sugar, ¼ cup flour, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon nutmeg. Stir in sliced apples until coated. Spoon filling into prepared crust.

Step 3: Make the Crisp Topping

In another bowl, combine brown sugar, ½ cup flour, oats, butter, ¾ teaspoon cinnamon, and ¾ teaspoon nutmeg. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over apples.

Step 4: Bake

Bake at 425°F for 50 minutes. Loosely cover with foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent over-browning. Cool slightly before serving.
