# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 400℉. Spray the pie plate with an even coating of cooking spray. Add flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt directly into the pie plate. Stir with a fork until combined.

In a small bowl, combine milk and canola oil. Pour the mixture over the dry ingredients in the pie plate and stir to combine. Reserve ⅓ of the combined dough for the crumb topping. Press the remaining dough into the pie plate, ensuring it covers the sides.
03 -
Place the apples and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes. Add the flour, then microwave for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, salt, and cinnamon until evenly combined.
04 -
Pour the prepared apple filling into the crust. Scatter the reserved dough pieces evenly across the top to create the crumb topping.
05 -
Bake the pie in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top is golden brown.
# Notes:
01 -
Using frozen apples eliminates the need for peeling and reduces prep time.
02 -
Placing the pie on a baking sheet prevents oven messes in case of bubbling over.
03 -
A pie shield can help prevents the edges of the crust from overbaking.
