Dutch Apple Pie
Dutch Apple Pie is my all time favorite pie. Homemade crust, apples , cinnamon and the crumb topping…I love the crumb topping. Good grief you have to love the genius of the first person to ever decide to take fruit, put it in a pastry crust and create pie. There have been lots of adaptions along the way.
This recipe for Delicious Dutch Apple Pie is absolutely wonderful. The filling in the pie sets up nicely, if there’s one thing that drives me batty its when the filling spills out and onto the pie plate. This set up perfectly , even though I cut it when it was slightly warm.
You can save yourself some time and use a pre made pie crust. I made homemade and will include that recipe after the pie filling recipe just in case you want to try it. It always turns out so flaky and delicious and can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. I’ve said this before and I’m saying it again. Lemon does wonderful things to apples, it brightens their flavor just like it does for berries. Please don’t skip tossing the apples with lemon juice.
I stood in the kitchen waving the pie in the air trying to make it cool faster so I could have a slice. And when I finally got a slice, it was followed by another. You’re going to love this Delicious Dutch Apple Pie! Enjoy!

Delicious Dutch Apple Pie - the perfect combination of apples, brown and cinnamon topped with oodles of crumb topping in an all butter crust.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 of your favorite homemade pie crusts or 1 ready-made pie crust
- 5 1/2 cups peeled cored sliced cooking apples I used Gala Apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
- 1/3 cup butter
All Butter Pie Crust
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup butter put the butter in the freezer long enough to get very cold, then grate it , return it to the freezer til your ready to use it. It incorporates into the flour faster and more evenly grated
- 1/4 cup very cold water you can also put this in the freezer til it has ice crystals on it
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Fit pie crust into pie plate.
- In a large bowl, mix sliced apples, lemon juice, both sugars,flour, cinnamon and nutmeg.
- Pile into crust.
- Prepare topping:.
- In a medium bowl, with a pastry blender or a fork, mix flour, both sugars, and butter until coarsely crumbled.
- Sprinkle evenly over apples.
- Bake at 375°F for 50 minutes.
All Butter Pie Crust Directions
- I have mixed the flour and salt in a bowl and put it in the freezer as well. having all the ingredients very cold is the key to making this butter crust.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- I've never waited 4 hours for it to refrigerate, 2 hours is the longest refrigeration time I've ever given the dough before using it the same day. I have made it and placed it in the fridge overnight to use the next day..
- Roll dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.

I’m making this recipe for a friend’s birthday this weekend… It is in the oven now and smells amazing! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
i just looked at this last week and went to go make it today and it opens another window and trys to get me to download something. What up with that. Why can i not see the recipe now
Joan, maybe it was because the site was in the process of being moved from blogger to WordPress. I’m sorry for any inconvenience. There shouldn’t be any window that opens up and asks you to download anything!
i scrolled up after my reply and can see the recipe from this page so i made it and it is in the oven as we speak. I just hope it turns out because i did not use the same apples. I’m not sure what kind they were because i got them at a park by my house.
is it really 12:29 am where you are? it is 7:29 here
Joan, let me know how it turns out for you! No it’s 8:31pm here, just another thing that needs adjusted on the new blog! LOL!!

.
Joan you are such a sweetheart! Thank you for coming back! You’ve made my day!!
I am making this today for a late family Thanksgiving dinner. If I make it in the morning, will it heat up okay later for dessert? Thanks!
Hi Kate, yes it should do just fine!
Can I use Macoun apples?
Kathy I’ve never heard of that apple, if it’s a baking apple it’ll do fine.
Hi can I know your recipe calls for 5 1/2 cups of apples but can you please tell about how many apples will I be needing thank you, this will be my first time making apple pie.
I absolutely love this recipe!!!!!! So far. I have only baked it in a glass deep dish pan. Is there a change in baking time if I used an aluminum pan? Thanks!!!!!
No Michelle, no change in baking time at all.
This pie recipe has been a staple in our house for the last several years now. It has become legend at church holiday events 😉 Thank you so much for sharing it. This makes the best pie EVER! I generally use use Honeycrisp apples, as those are what I usually have on hand, and find using a 1/4 cup of flour works well for the filling.
Wonderful Susan, thank you so much for taking the time to come back and comment, I appreciate it!
My oldest son’s favorite pie is a crumb-topped apple pie! Your recipe looks delicious!
Thank you Shelby
This pie looks so good! Nothing like apple pie this time of year.
This is a must make fall dessert! It has all the best fall flavors!
Thank you Lindsay.
This is calling my name!
Thank you Toni,
Until I came to live in Canada I never had cinnamon in apple pie. I still think it over takes the flavour of the apples.
I make mine the same as yours minus the spices but i dot little pieces if butter all over the apples then put on the topping. Everyone who has tried this just loves it.
Thank you Margaret
