Dutch Apple Pie

PIE:

  • 1 pie crust
  • 5 1/2 cups peeled, cored, sliced apples
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 3 tbsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg

TOPPING:

  • 3/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 brown sugar, packed
  • 1/3 cup butter, room temperature

The apples can be whichever variety you like.  I find Granny Smith apples to still be a bit crisp after baking, while Ambrosia apples wind up softer (and have a subtle spice).  If you enjoy the apple fresh, you will likely enjoy it baked into this pie.

Preheat oven to 375 F. Fit pie crust into pie tin. In a large bowl, mix PIE ingredients. Fill crust.

In a medium bowl, mix TOPPING ingredients, sprinkle and pack evenly over apples. Bake at 375 F for 50 minutes.
