Best Dutch Apple Pie Recipe

Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place rack in the lower third of the oven.
2. 2
   Roll out your pie crust and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Chill in the fridge while you prepare the filling.
3. 3
   In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside 5 minutes.
4. 4
   Pour apple filling into the prepared pie crust, mounding apples in the center.
5. 5
   For the topping, combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a medium bowl. Add cubed cold butter and cut in with a pastry cutter or fingers until pea-sized clumps form.
6. 6
   Sprinkle crumb topping evenly over apples. Place pie on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
7. 7
   Bake in preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, until crumb topping is golden and juices are bubbling. Tent with foil if needed to prevent over-browning.
8. 8
   Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack at least 2 hours before slicing.
