Cooking steps

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) with rack in the center. Place pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, gently pressing into edges.
2

In a large bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, 1 tbsp flour, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly coated.
3

Pour apple mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading filling evenly and mounding apples slightly in the center.
4

Make streusel: In a medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour, brown sugar, and softened butter using a fork or fingertips until crumbly and well-combined; do not overwork or melt.
5

Sprinkle streusel topping evenly over filled pie. Bake for 50–60 minutes, covering edges loosely with foil if browning too quickly, until apples are tender and topping is golden and crisp.
6

Cool pie on a wire rack for at least 2 hours to set before slicing for best texture and clean slices.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this Dutch apple pie recipe?

The core ingredient is fresh apples, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, which provide the classic tartness and texture essential to a Dutch apple pie. Their flavor pairs with the cinnamon and streusel to truly define the dessert.

Q. What’s special about the streusel topping in the recipe?

The streusel topping — made with flour, brown sugar, and butter — adds a sweet, crumbly layer above the apples. Be gentle while mixing; cold butter and minimal handling keep the crumble crisp and prevent it from becoming pasty.

Q. How do I avoid a soggy bottom crust?

Bake the pie on the lower-middle oven rack at 375°F. Layer the pie filling evenly, and allow the baked pie to rest for at least 2 hours before slicing. This sets the filling and prevents excess juices from soaking the crust.

Q. What is the calorie and macro breakdown per serving?

Each slice (about 145g) contains 340 kcal with 52g carbs (61%), 2g protein (2%), and 15g fat (37%). Most energy derives from carbohydrates and buttery fat in the topping.
