Description

This Dutch Apple Pie offers a comforting twist on the classic dessert by replacing the top crust with a crunchy, cinnamon-spiced streusel. The filling bursts with fresh, tart apples that soften into a tender sweetness during baking, balanced perfectly by the warm spices. The buttery crumb topping provides a delightful textural contrast to the juicy fruit beneath. It is an ideal choice for autumn gatherings, family dinners, or any occasion calling for a homemade treat. Simple to assemble yet impressive in presentation, this pie delivers rich, nostalgic flavors that everyone loves.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
  2. Unroll the pie crust and press it gently into a 9-inch pie plate.
  3. Brush the bottom and sides of the crust evenly with the beaten egg yolk.
  4. Bake the crust on a baking sheet for 5 minutes until lightly browned, then remove from the oven.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  6. Toss the ingredients together until the apples are well coated, then spoon the mixture into the partially baked crust.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the remaining flour, sugar, brown sugar, and softened butter with a fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  8. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apple filling.
  9. Bake on a baking sheet for 50 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  10. Transfer the pie to a wire rack and let it cool completely for at least 4 hours before serving to allow the filling to set.
  11. Serve at room temperature.
