Dutch Apple Pie Recipe

🍎 Dutch Apple Pie

Tender cinnamon-spiced apples topped with a buttery brown sugar crumble make this classic fall pie perfect for Thanksgiving, weekend baking, or a cozy autumn dessert.

Ingredients

Pie
• 1 refrigerated or homemade pie crust
• 6 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp nutmeg
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Crumble Topping
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• ¼ tsp salt
• 6 tbsp cold butter, cubed

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and crimp the edges.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla.
Spoon the apple filling evenly into the prepared crust.
Make the crumble by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in the cold butter with a pastry cutter or fork until coarse crumbs form.
Sprinkle the crumble generously over the apples, covering the filling completely.
Bake for 20 minutes, then reduce the oven temperature to 375°F.
Continue baking for 35–45 minutes, until the topping is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling around the edges.
If the crust begins to brown too quickly, loosely cover the edges with foil.
Let the pie cool for at least 2 hours before slicing so the filling can set.
