Description
Dutch Apple Pie is pure comfort baked into a pie dish. Tender cinnamon-spiced apples sit inside a flaky crust and are topped with a golden, buttery crumb instead of a traditional lattice. It’s cozy, nostalgic, and fills the kitchen with the kind of aroma that makes everyone wander in asking when dessert is ready. Perfect for holidays, family dinners, or any time apples are calling.
Ingredients
Pie Crust
1 unbaked 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
Apple Filling
6–7 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
¾ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup brown sugar
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp nutmeg
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
Crumb Topping
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp cinnamon
½ cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pie crust into a pie dish and set aside.
In a large bowl, toss apples with sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla until evenly coated.
Pour apple mixture into the prepared crust, spreading evenly.
In another bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle crumb topping generously over the apples.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
Cool at least 1 hour before slicing for best texture.
