Description
Enjoy a classic Dutch Apple Pie with a delicious, crumbly streusel topping. This recipe is perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 recipe for double pie crust
- 6 cups thinly sliced peeled apples (about 6 medium apples)
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the pie crust and line a 9-inch pie plate with one crust.
- In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Pour the apple mixture into the prepared pie crust. Dot the top with the small pieces of butter.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the streusel topping.
- Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the apple filling.
- Place the second pie crust over the streusel topping, or create a lattice top if desired. Crimp the edges to seal.
- Cut vents in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
- Bake for 15 minutes at 425°F (220°C).
- Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and continue baking for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust starts to brown too quickly, you can loosely tent it with foil.
- Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 2-3 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
Notes
- You can use a mix of apple varieties for a more complex flavor.
- Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
- For extra crispiness, brush the top crust with an egg wash before baking.
