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.
My husband stood in the kitchen waving the pie in the air trying to make it cool faster so he could have a slice. And when he finally got a slice, it was followed by another. You’re going to love this Delicious Dutch Apple Pie! Enjoy!

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

- 1/2 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 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!!!!!
bunny
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.

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.
