DUTCH APPLE PIE



Dutch Apple Pie image

The difference between classic apple pie and a Dutch apple pie recipe is all in the delicious crumb topping. Dutch apple pie topping is made with butter, Gold Medal™ flour, brown sugar and granulated sugar, and you'll know when it's ready to come out of the oven when the crumb toppings are a deep golden brown. Instead of a second pie crust, enjoy a generous blanket of sweet streusel crumbs-sprinkled over a tender spiced apple filling.

Time 2h45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
2 to 3 tablespoons cold water
8 cups sliced cored peeled apples
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, mix 1 cup flour and the salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost leaves side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary). Gather pastry into a ball. Shape into flattened round on lightly floured surface. Wrap flattened round of pastry in plastic wrap, and refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
  • Heat oven to 400°F. On surface sprinkled with flour, using floured rolling pin, roll pastry dough into circle 2 inches larger than 9-inch pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side and being careful not to stretch pastry, which will cause it to shrink when baked. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1 inch from rim of pie plate. Fold and roll pastry under, even with plate; flute as desired.
  • In large bowl, toss Filling ingredients. Pour into pie plate, mounding apples toward center.
  • In medium bowl, use pastry blender or fingers to mix butter, 1 cup flour and the brown sugar until a crumb forms. Sprinkle evenly over top of pie. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon granulated sugar on top.
  • Bake 45 to 55 minutes or until pie crust and crumb topping are deep golden brown and filling begins to bubble. Transfer to cooling rack to cool.

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH APPLE CRUMB PIE



Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Crumb Pie image

From my falling apart cookbook entitled Best-Loved Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes. Simple ingredients, easy assembly and spectacular presentation. When pressed for time, I have been known to substitute canned apple pie filling. This also works well for Cherry Crumb Pie by using canned cherry filling plus 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. A lifetime ago, on holidays, I was not allowed to enter my ex-inlaws house unless I had a Cherry Crumb Pie in my hands! ;) NOTE: If you use canned filling, just bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until topping is brown.

5 cups apples - peeled, cored and sliced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
⅔ cup white sugar
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons butter
¾ cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ cup packed brown sugar
¾ cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon lemon zest
½ cup butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Fit pastry shell into pie pan and place in freezer.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Don't overfill the pie crust. Leave about 1 inch of space around the edges so that the filling has room to bubble up and prevent boil overs.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help prevent them from browning.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pie. The filling should be bubbly and the crust should be golden brown.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Dutch apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and tangy filling, flaky crust, and crunchy crumb topping, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
