Hey there sweet pies, it’s your goofy gal here to bring you the ultimate Dutch Apple Pie recipe. Trust me when I say, one bite of this pie and you’ll be singing “Oh my darling, oh my darling, oh my darling, THISSSSSS PIEEEEEEEE.”
First things first, you gotta gather the goods. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
-1 pre-made pie crust
-5-6 cups thinly sliced, peeled and cored apples
-1/2 cup sugar
-3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
-3/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
-1/4 tsp. ground ginger
-1/4 tsp. salt
-1 tbsp. unsalted butter
-Streusel Topping: 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 tsp. salt
Now, roll up those sleeves and let’s get bakin’!
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Roll out your pie crust and place it into a 9-inch pie dish. You know the drill, crimp those edges and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix together your sliced apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, and salt. Once you’ve got that bad boy all mixed up, pour it into your pie crust. Cut up that tablespoon of butter into teeny tiny pieces and sprinkle them over the top of your apples.
Now, let’s get to that delicious streusel topping. In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and salt. Cut up that cold butter into little cubes and use your fingers to mix everything together until it resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the topping over the top of your pie.
Pop that beauty into your preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Let it cool for a hot second before diving in.
Now, I know the recipe calls for 5-6 cups of apples, but let’s be real here. Who really measures out their apples? Eyeballing it is the way to go, and the more apples the better! This pie is perfect for those chilly fall evenings, or really any day ending in -y.
Oh, and we can’t forget about those gorgeous images that inspired this masterpiece. Just take a look at these beauties.
