Description
This Dutch-style apple pie is all about layers—flaky crust, juicy spiced apples, and a buttery crumble topping. It’s comfort in a slice and a perfect blend of soft, crisp, and crumbly textures. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a truly classic dessert moment.
Ingredients
Filling
6–7 cups peeled and sliced apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or mix)
2/3 cup (134g) granulated sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp salt
2 tbsp (16g) all-purpose flour
1 tbsp lemon juice
Crust
1 9-inch unbaked pie shell (homemade or store-bought)
Crumble Topping
1 cup (124g) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, cold and cubed
Optional twist: Add 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or oats for crunch
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, toss apples with sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, flour, and lemon juice. Set aside.
Pour apple mixture into unbaked pie crust.
For crumble, mix flour and brown sugar. Cut in cold butter until coarse crumbs form. Stir in nuts or oats if using.
Sprinkle crumble over apples evenly.
Bake 50–60 minutes, until topping is golden and filling is bubbly. Tent with foil if topping browns too quickly.
Cool before slicing.
