Dutch Apple Pie (aka Apple Pie with Crumb Topping)

Dutch Apple Pie (aka apple crumble pie, aka perhaps the most perfect pie in existence) is filled with cinnamon-spiced homemade apple pie filling and topped with a glorious buttery streusel crumb topping. It's an utterly blissful experience to eat a slice of slightly warm dutch apple pie with a scoop of ice cream!

Equipment

Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling

  • 7 cups apples peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Crumble Topping

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup salted butter softened
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 400°F.
  • Combine all pie filling ingredients in a large bowl and toss to evenly coat apples. Let sit for 20-30 minutes until apples have released some of their juices.
    7 cups apples, 2 Tablespoons lemon juice, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light brown sugar, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • While the apples macerate, combine the crumble topping ingredients in a large bowl and cut the butter in using a pastry cutter until it is just small crumbs. Squeeze a couple of handfuls together to create small clumps of varying sizes.
    1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 cup salted butter, Pinch of salt
  • Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured surfacae and tansfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim edges and tuck under, using the tines of a fork to make a decorative pattern around the edge of the crust.

  • Mound the apple pie filling in the center of the crust, leaving the liquid behind in the bowl. Transfer the juices from the apples to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 45-60 seconds, until thick. Spread over the top of the apple pie filling.
  • Sprinkle the pie with the crumble topping.
  • Bake for 50-55 minutes until golden brown on top and the apple filling is bubbling and the apples are tender. Cover the pie crust edges with a pie shield partway through baking and cover the whole pie with a piece of aluminum foil halfway through baking if it looks like it is getting too brown.
  • Cool completely before serving.
