{"0":"Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F. Place an oven rack at the lowest possible setting.","3":"For the filling:","5":"Core the apples. Slice into 3\/4-inch chunks. Toss all of the apples with the sugar, tapioca flour, apple butter, citrus juice, salt, and spices.","8":"For the streusel:","10":"In a medium bowl, combine flour, oats, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Using a pastry blender or fork, cut in the butter until fine crumbs form.","12":"Using hands, squeeze together most of the mixture to form large clumps. The topping can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 6 months.","15":"Assemble and bake the pie:","17":"Pour apple mixture into the pie shell making sure to transfer any residual liquid as well. It will seem very full. Press streusel mixture onto the top.","19":"Place the pie on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake the lowest rack of the oven for 50 minutes until the apples are cooked through but not mushy.
