Dutch Apple Pie Recipe
This easy Dutch Apple Pie Recipe is made with fresh apples, a buttery crust and a streusel topping with a secret ingredient - cornmeal! It's a wonderful apple pie.
Servings: 8
Ingredients
For the filling:
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Dash of salt
- About 5 cups thinly sliced apples 8-10 medium apples peeled and cored
For the streusel:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon yellow cornmeal
- 6 tablespoons butter melted
- 1 Pie Crust
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375℉. Mix all the ingredients for the filling together in a medium bowl, making sure the apples are coated well.
- Add the apple mixture to a prepared unbaked pie crust in a deep 9-inch pie plate. Place the apple pie in the oven (with no top on) and bake for 25 minutes.
- To make the streusel, add the flour, sugars, and cornmeal to a small bowl and whisk to combine. Drizzle the melted butter over the top and stir with a fork until roughly combined.
- Remove the pie from the oven after 25 minutes and carefully add the streusel topping evenly over the top.
- Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, until the crust and streusel have browned.
- Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least one hour. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Try to find a firm apple to use in this recipe. I like a mix between sweet and sour apples. You can use Granny Smith, Jonathan, Jonagold, Winesap, Golden Delicious, Honey Crisp, Gala, and Rome Beauty. I used Golden Delicious from our trees for this pie and it was great.
- Cut the apples into slices that are about ¼ inch thick.
- In the world of pies, this one has a low amount of added sugar. If using a very tart apple you may need to double the sugar. Just adjust to taste.
- If you are looking for a more traditional Dutch Apple Pie recipe, I have made the one from the America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book with great success. The streusel part of this recipe comes from their recipe.
