A classic Dutch apple pie filled with tender cinnamon-spiced apples and finished with a buttery crumb topping that bakes golden and irresistible.

Ingredients

  • Unbaked pie crust, 1 (9-inch)
  • Apples, 6 cups peeled and sliced
  • Granulated sugar, 3/4 cup
  • Brown sugar, 1/4 cup
  • All-purpose flour, 3 tablespoons
  • Ground cinnamon, 2 teaspoons
  • Ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon
  • Lemon juice, 1 tablespoon
  • All-purpose flour, 3/4 cup
  • Brown sugar, 1/2 cup
  • Unsalted butter, 1/2 cup cold and cubed
  • Salt, 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
  3. Place the unbaked pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish.
  4. Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the crust.
  5. In another bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, salt, and cold butter until crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake until the topping is golden and the filling is bubbling.

Notes

  • Use firm apples for the best texture.
  • Let the pie cool to allow the filling to set.
  • Cover loosely if the topping browns too quickly.
