Classic Dutch Apple Pie with a tender crust, warm cinnamon-spiced apple filling, and a crumbly buttery topping. Perfectly sweetened with a mix of white and brown sugar, this pie is ideal served warm with ice cream or whipped cream for a comforting dessert loved by all.


Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 cup Flour (for crust)
  • Butter or as per your homemade crust recipe (not specified)

Apple Filling

  • 8 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 3/4 cup White sugar
  • 1/4 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg

Topping

  • 1 cup Flour
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup White sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup Butter, cold


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Crust: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out your pie crust and place it evenly in the bottom of a pie pan. Set aside while you prepare the filling.
  2. Prepare Apple Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and sliced Granny Smith apples with lemon juice, white sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well until all apples are coated. Let the apple filling rest for at least 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  3. Make Topping: In a separate bowl, use a fork or your hands to combine flour, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, and cold butter. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture becomes crumbly with small butter pieces coated in the dry mix.
  4. Assemble and Bake: Spoon the apple filling evenly into the prepared crust. Sprinkle the crumbly topping evenly over the apples. Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 55 minutes, until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbly.
  5. Serve: Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. Serve warm with a scoop of ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for the best experience.
