Not sure why this is called Dutch apple pie...perhaps the Dutch are wondering as well. I think it's because of the streusel, which is a sweet buttery crumb topping. Maybe it's inherently Dutch. Streusel often contains nuts which I omitted because not everyone is fond of nuts.
- one unbaked pastry crust (if using a store-bought crust make sure it is a high-quality one)
- about 6 cups of peeled apples sliced
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
- 1 rounded teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Ingredients for the streusel topping:
- 1/2 cup of butter melted
- 1 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- pinch of salt
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
Place a pastry crust in a pie pan and crimp the edges. Peel and slice 6 cups of apples and combine the apples with the sugar, flour and cinnamon. Fill the pastry crust with the apple mixture.
Mix the streusel ingredients with a fork in a small bowl. When totally mixed and crumbly, strew the streusel evenly over the top of the pie. Bake for about an hour or until the apple filling is bubbling.
