There’s something comforting about a warm slice of apple pie, especially a Dutch apple pie. The crumbly, streusel-like topping adds a wonderful contrast to the sweet, tender apples underneath. If you’re looking for a crowd-pleasing dessert that’s easy to make, look no further than these two tried-and-true recipes.

Easy Dutch Apple Pie

Ingredients:

• 1 unbaked pie crust
• 6 cups peeled, cored and sliced Granny Smith apples (about 6 medium apples)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the unbaked pie crust in a 9-inch (23cm) pie dish.
3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well and spoon into the pie crust.
4. In another bowl, combine 1 cup flour and brown sugar. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or two knives until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
5. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples in the pie crust.
6. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. If the crust starts to brown too much, cover the edges of the pie with aluminum foil.
7. Let the pie cool on a wire rack before serving.
