Dutch Apple Pie

Dutch apple pie recipes can have a few different variations; some use a deep-dish pie plate, and others are topped with a lattice-style crust. Our recipe includes heavy cream in the filling, and a deliciously crumbly streusel topping for rich, decadent slices.

Pastry for Single-Crust Pie

  • 1 ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ cup shortening

  • ¼ cup butter, cut up, or shortening

  • ¼ cup ice water

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Prepare Pastry for Single-Crust Pie. On a lightly floured surface use your hands to slightly flatten pastry ball. Roll pastry into a 12-inch circle. Line a 9-inch pie plate with pastry circle. Trim and flute edge.

  2. For streusel, in a large bowl combine the 1 1/2 cups flour, the brown sugar, salt, and 1/2 tsp. of the cinnamon. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in walnuts.

  3. For filling, in an extra-large bowl combine granulated sugar, the 2 Tbsp. flour, and the remaining 1/2 tsp. cinnamon. Add apples; toss to coat. Transfer to the pastry-lined pie plate. Carefully drizzle with cream. Mound streusel over filling, patting down and completely covering filling.

  4. Place a foil-lined baking sheet on rack below pie. Bake 15 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Bake 50 to 60 minutes more or until filling is bubbly. Cover pie loosely with foil after 30 minutes of baking. Cool on a wire rack.

Gather pastry into a ball, kneading gently until it comes together.
