The Best easy dutch apple pie recipe

I have been making this easy Dutch apple pie for years and it is always a hit with my family. My kids love the sweet apple filling and the buttery crumb topping. It is a simple recipe that does not require any fancy techniques or a pie crust from scratch. I love that I can use everyday ingredients to create a dessert that tastes like it came from a bakery. This pie is perfect for a weeknight treat or a holiday gathering. It is also a great way to use up extra apples from the orchard. The apples provide fiber and vitamin C which makes this dessert a little bit better for you than some other options.

🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
3 to 4 tablespoons ice water

For the Filling

6 cups peeled and sliced apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Streusel Topping

1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat oven to 375°F.
2Make the crust: In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time, stirring until dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
3On a floured surface, roll out dough to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Transfer to pie plate and trim edges. Crimp as desired.
4Make the filling: In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Pour into the crust.
5Make the streusel: In a bowl, combine flour and brown sugar. Cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle evenly over the apple filling.
6Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until topping is golden brown and filling is bubbly. If the topping browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
7Let cool on a wire rack for at least 2 hours before serving.
