Preheat your oven to 375°F. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a 12-inch circle. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9-inch tart pan with a removable bottom. Press the dough gently into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Trim any excess dough from the edges. Place the tart shell in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling.

Prepare the Crumble Topping: In a separate medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup old-fashioned rolled oats, and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Add the 1/4 cup cold unsalted butter pieces and cut into the mixture using a pastry blender or your fingertips until coarse crumbs form.

Bake the Tart: Place the tart on a baking sheet (to catch any drips) and bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown, the apples are tender when pierced with a knife, and the crumble topping is lightly browned and crisp. If the topping browns too quickly, you can loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
