Cinnamon Apple Streusel Pie

Its almost Thanksgiving and you have so much to be thankful for, including this amazing pie recipe! Thanksgiving in my family is like the Super Bowl of all holidays, its a combination of me losing my mind trying to make 3 dishes at one time , my brother asking if dinner is ready every 15 mins and oh yes, pie of course! Ive been searching for a recipe that is easy enough for a beginner, trust me Thanksgiving is not the day you want to start exploring your inner baker, I've learned my lesson. I'm currently obsessing over this recipe, its topped with a buttery brown sugar and oats crumble, filled with fresh juicy cinnamon apples and held together with a warm flaky crust. I topped mine with vanilla bean ice cream and whipped cream and I'm not sorry about it ! ENJOY
