Description
With a flaky base, spiced apple filling, and a golden crumb topping, this Dutch apple pie delivers nostalgic warmth and modern flair in every bite.
Ingredients
6 Granny Smith apples, peeled and sliced
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp flour
1 prepared pie crust
Crumb topping: 1 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Place your pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
2. In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with cinnamon, sugar, and flour until evenly coated.
3. Spread the apple mixture into the crust. Slightly mound the center for that classic dome shape.
4. Mix your crumb topping: combine flour and sugar, then cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add a pinch of salt to brighten the flavor.
5. Sprinkle the crumble generously over the apples. Don’t skimp—you want thick coverage.
6. Bake for 50–55 minutes—until the topping is golden and the apple mixture bubbles at the edge.
7. Cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. Pair with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel apple sauce.
Notes
Mix tart and sweet apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for complexity.
Add Apple Cider, pumpkin, oats, or nuts to personalize your pie.
Serve warm with whipped cream or coffee for an elevated experience.
