In my opinion, this is the best apple pie I have come across and I owe it to the streusel topping. I have a feeling you’ll never go back to a regular apple pie again after giving this apple crumb pie a try and getting rave reviews!

Ingredients Needed for Dutch Apple Pie

For the apple pie filling and bottom crust:

Homemade Pie Dough Crust or Ready-Made Pie Crust: You can either make your own pie crust from scratch or buy a pre-made one from the store.

Sliced Apples (Cooking Apples or Tart Apples): Choose apples that are a little sour, like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn. They add a nice contrast to the sweetness.

Lemon Juice: This is a tangy liquid from lemons that keeps the apples from browning and adds a hint of citrusy flavor.

Sugar: This is a sweet, granulated substance that makes the filling sweet and delicious.

Brown Sugar: A sweetener with a rich, caramel-like taste, often used in baking.

Flour: A powdery ingredient that helps thicken the pie filling, making it less runny.

Cinnamon: A warm and aromatic spice that gives a cozy flavor to the filling.

Nutmeg: A fragrant spice that adds a gentle, nutty taste, complementing the other flavors in the pie.

 

For the top crust:

Flour: This is a powdery ingredient used to create a dough that covers the pie.

Sugar: A sweet, granulated substance that adds sweetness to the crust.

Brown Sugar: A sweetener with a rich, caramel-like taste, used to give the crust a delightful flavor.

Butter or Margarine: A creamy, fatty ingredient that adds richness and helps create a flaky, golden-brown crust. You can use either butter or margarine for this recipe.
