Sometimes we can't decide what we love more — apple pie or apple crumble. Luckily, with this recipe, we don't have to decide.

1 (18-oz) bag of pre-cut apples, about 4 cups

1. Place the apples in a large dutch oven or saucepan. Toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and apple pie spice, and stir to combine. Simmer gently, covered, over medium-low heat, stirring frequently until apples are tender but still hold their shape (20 to 25 minutes). Remove from heat and and cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, mix together all of the ingredients for the crumble crust in a large bowl.
