Equipment

Ingredients

Apple Pie Filling:

Crumb Topping:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup cane sugar
  • 1/4 cup salted butter sliced cold

Instructions

  • Make a single pie crust and have it ready to go beforehand.
  • Pre-heat your oven to 375° F.

Apple Pie Filling:

  • Wash, core, peel, and thinly slice the apples, adding them to a large bowl.
  • Melt the butter, and mix it into the prepared apples.
  • Then add the sour cream, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix together well.
  • Pour the apple pie filling into the pie shell.

Crumb Topping:

  • Mix together the flour, brown sugar, and sugar.
  • Then slice cold butter into the dry ingredients, and mix together with a pastry blender. It will form into a nice crumbly mixture.
  • Top off your pie with the crumble topping, making sure you crumble it all up around the edge, as well.
  • Place your pie plate on a baking sheet, and bake at 375° F for about 1 hour, possibly a little longer depending on whether or not your crust is done.
  • Once the pie is done, take it out of the oven, and allow it to cool on a wire rack, 'til you're ready to slice it up and serve it.

Notes

*You can make this pie gluten-free by substituting a good gluten-free flour (<— this one's my favorite) for the all-purpose flour. And then also make the pie crust with gluten-free flour. Also, be sure to check labels on any of the above ingredients, just to be safe, especially the spices you use.
*An easy way to prep the apples is to use an apple peeler. It just makes the process so much quicker and easier.
How do you know when a Dutch apple pie is done?
The crust and crumb topping will turn a nice golden brown. The apple pie filling will also be very bubbly, and the apples will soften; you can test them with a fork.
How do I store apple crumb pie?
You can make this pie in advance, but I wouldn't recommend more than a day ahead of time, unless you're going to freeze the pie. To store the pie, I recommend covering it well and placing it in the refrigerator. You can warm it up the next day at a low temperature in the oven, or in the microwave.
