Steps:

• Thinly slice 1/4 pound (1 stick) of the butter, and place in freezer until well chilled. In the bowl of a food processor, combine 1 1/4 cups of the flour, salt, sugar and butter from freezer. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With machine running, add ice water drop by drop until the dough just holds together. Transfer dough to a mixing bowl, and shape into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Fit into a nonstick or lightly buttered 9-inch pie plate, and trim the edge with a sharp knife. Lightly cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate.

Transfer to a mixing bowl, and add remaining 3/4 cup light brown sugar, and oatmeal; mix well.
• Spoon apple mixture into chilled pie shell. Cover with oatmeal topping. Bake on a middle oven rack until crust is golden brown and filling is slightly bubbly, about 1 hour. Allow to cool before serving.
