• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• Line a 9-inch pie pan with crust. Flute the edges. Use your fingers to repair any tears in the crust, if needed.
• To make the filling, place sliced apples, lemon juice, sugars, tapioca starch/flour, cinnamon and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined.
• Pour filling into unbaked crust and spread it around until evenly distributed.
• To make the streusel topping, place walnuts, brown sugar, rice flour, tapioca starch/flour, and cinnamon in a small mixing bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined. Add coconut oil and mix until evenly distributed. Topping should be crumbly. Sprinkle topping over apple filling.
• Loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly. Put pie on a baking sheet. Place in preheated oven and bake 45 to 50 minutes or until the filling bubbles, apples are fork-tender and the crust is cooked. Remove foil after 25 minutes to allow the top to brown.
• Take the pie from the oven and let cool before slicing.
