Delightful Dutch Apple Pie with a buttery crumb topping served with vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)
  • 6–7 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (for crumb topping)
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for crumb topping)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon (for crumb topping)
  • 6 tbsp cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes (for crumb topping)
  • Vanilla ice cream (for serving)
  • Extra cinnamon (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss apple slices with both sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla until evenly coated.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix flour, sugars, and cinnamon. Add cold butter and use a fork or your fingers to blend into a crumbly texture.
  3. Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Fill with the apple mixture. Sprinkle crumb topping generously over the apples.
  4. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake pie for 50–60 minutes or until apples are tender and topping is golden brown. Cover edges with foil if crust browns too quickly.
  5. Let the pie cool slightly. Slice and serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a light dusting of cinnamon if desired.

Notes

  • Serve with caramel drizzle or spiced whipped cream.
  • Enjoy cold the next day for a breakfast treat.
  • Add chopped pecans to the topping for a nutty twist.
  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for the best flavor.
  • Freeze before baking if prepping ahead for holidays.
  • Make it gluten-free with a GF crust and almond flour topping.
