Crisp Topping
- Combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, and butter in the same bowl that was used for the apples.
- Using a fork, mash it all together until crumbs form.
- Top the apples with the crisp topping, then fold the edges of the pie crust over the apples about an inch, pinching the folds together as you go.
- Brush with an egg wash, if desired - see notes.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbling hot.
- Serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream, if desired.
