How to Make Spiced Sugar Apple Pie Light

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  3. Carefully unfold one pie crust and place it in the prepared pie plate. Crimp the edges.
  4. In a large bowl, gently toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon and nutmeg (if using).
  5. Pour the apple mixture into the pie crust.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats and 1/4 cup granulated sugar.
  7. Cut in the cold margarine using your fingers, two forks, or a pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the oatmeal crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  9. Bake for 25 minutes.
  10. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F (190°C). Carefully cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil to prevent over-browning.
  11. Continue baking for another 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust is browning too quickly, reduce the oven temperature further or add more foil.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack for at least 15 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
