Ingredients
Scale
- 1 single pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
- 6 medium apples (Granny Smith & Honeycrisp mix)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- For the crumble topping:
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Secret #1 – Choose the right apples: Use a mix of tart and sweet apples (like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp) for balanced flavor and texture.
- Secret #2 – Pre-bake the crust: Blind bake your crust for 10 minutes to prevent sogginess.
- Secret #3 – Perfectly spiced filling: Combine sliced apples with sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Toss well and let sit 10 minutes.
- Secret #4 – Buttery crumble topping: Mix flour, brown sugar, butter, and salt until crumbly. Chill while assembling the pie.
- Secret #5 – Bake low and slow: Pour filling into the crust, sprinkle topping, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 50–55 minutes until golden and bubbly. Cool before serving.
Notes
🥧 Tip: Let your Dutch apple pie cool completely before slicing so the filling sets beautifully. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm caramel for the ultimate indulgence!
