Granny's Dutch Apple Pie image

This orginal recipe came from my grandmother's cookbook, a 1941 New American Cookbook. I have tweaked the recipe just a bit, but still it retains the old-fashioned goodness. I just made this recipe over Thanksgiving for company and it was a complete success! I've never really tasted another apple pie quite like this one, mmmm...

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 unbaked deep-dish pie shell (i use my fool-proof pie crust recipe)
1 1/2 to 2 lb apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin. you may use granny smith, honey crisp, or a combination of your favorite pie apples.
1/4 c all purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1 Tbsp lemon juice
TOPPING:
1 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c brown sugar, lightly packed
1 stick butter, slightly softened

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place apple slices in a large bowl.
  • 2. Mix flour, sugar, spices, and lemon juice together and sprinkle over apple slices. Using a spatula or large spoon, mix together. (I just use my hands).
  • 3. Pour apple mixture into pie crust and dot with butter. Sprinkle crumb topping over apples (directions to follow).
  • 4. Place pie plate onto a foil-lined cookie sheet and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes or until topping is browned and apples are cooked and bubbly. Best serveed warm with ice cream.
  • 5. TOPPING: In a medium bowl, mix flour, salt, cinnamon and sugars together with a fork. Knead in butter until mixture is crumbly and the consistancy of wet sand. If too wet, you may add in a little more flour (about a tablespoon at a time) until consistancy is right. If mixture is too dry, you can add a little more butter.
  • 6. This topping recipe was actually told to me by my mother and grandmother. I was never given precise measurements, so I tweaked it the best I could and this is what I came up with. This topping tastes wonderful and works well for apple crisp, sweet potato casserole, or most any dessert that requires this type of topping.

I would recommend using a different type of apple for this pie. I used Granny Smith apples and they were a bit too tart.

I'm not usually a big fan of apple pie, but this one is really good. The crust is flaky and the filling is sweet and tart.
