Looking for a classic and indulgent dessert that is sure to impress your guests? Look no further than this mouthwatering Dutch Apple Pie recipe! With a crispy and buttery crust, a succulent apple filling, and a sweet and crunchy topping made of brown sugar and oats, this pie is the perfect treat to satisfy any sweet tooth.
To start off, preheat your oven to 375°F. Now, let’s make the crust! In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 tsp of salt, and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter that has been cut into cubes. Mix the ingredients together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Next, add about 2 tbsp of ice water to the mixture, until the dough comes together into a ball. Flatten the dough and wrap in plastic wrap, then chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, we can work on the filling. Peel, core, and thinly slice 6 cups of apples (a mixture of tart and sweet apples is best) and add them to a mixing bowl. Next, add in 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, 2 tbsp of cornstarch, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp of nutmeg. Mix everything together well, until the apples are coated with the mixture.
Now, it’s time for the topping! In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and 1/2 cup of unsalted butter that has been cut into cubes. Mix everything together until a crumbly mixture forms.
Take the chilled dough out of the fridge and roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/8″ thick. Carefully transfer the dough to a 9″ pie dish, pressing it into the bottom and sides of the dish. Trim any overhanging dough and crimp the edges.
Next, pour the apple filling into the pie crust, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the topping over the filling, making sure it is distributed evenly.
Bake the Dutch Apple Pie for 45-55 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the filling is bubbling. Let the pie cool completely before serving.
This pie is best enjoyed warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top! Trust us, once you’ve had a slice of this Dutch Apple Pie, you’ll never want to go back to regular apple pie again.
So why not give this recipe a try? It’s easy to make, delicious, and sure to impress your friends and family. Happy baking!
