Dutch Apple Pie Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Make the Pie Crust

   In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cold water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into discs, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

2. 2

   Prepare the Apple Filling

   In a large bowl, combine sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Toss until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.

3. 3

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

4. 4

   Roll Out the Crust

   On a floured surface, roll out one disc of the dough to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Place the rolled-out crust into the pie dish.

5. 5

   Fill the Pie

   Pour the apple filling into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly.

6. 6

   Make the Topping

   In a bowl, mix together flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping evenly over the apple filling.

7. 7

   Bake the Pie

   Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown. If the edges of the crust brown too quickly, cover them with foil.

8. 8

   Cool and Serve

   Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
