Prepare the Apple Filling: In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced Granny Smith apples with lemon juice, 3/4 cup white sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg. Mix thoroughly to coat all the apples. Set the apple mixture aside for at least 5 to 10 minutes; this crucial step allows the sugar to draw out excess moisture from the apples, preventing a soggy pie bottom.

Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup white sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add the 1/2 cup of cold butter, cut into small pieces. Using your hands (or a pastry cutter/fork), work the butter into the dry mixture until a crumbly texture is achieved.

Assemble the Pie: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place the 9-inch pie crust into a pie dish. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rested apple filling into the pie crust, ensuring to leave behind any liquid that has accumulated at the bottom of the apple filling bowl. Evenly sprinkle the prepared crumble topping over the apples in the pie crust.
