Easy Dutch Apple Pie with Crumb Topping Recipe
Howdy folks!
Today I have an amazing recipe for a delicious Dutch Apple Pie. Made with a homemade pie crust (or ready-made crust), apples, lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg! A step up from a classic apple pie, though there is nothing better than baked apples, am I right?
The golden delicious crumb on the top of this homemade apple pie makes all the difference. Serve however you prefer, warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or maybe chilled from the fridge.
For this recipe, you’ll need:
APPLE PIE FILLING & CRUST:
- 1 homemade pie dough crusts or 1 ready-made pie crust
- 5 1/2 cups peeled cored sliced apples (cooking apples, such as Granny Smith Apples, Honeycrisp, Braeburn, Jonathan, Jonagold, or Cortland)

Do you pre bake the pie crust before adding the filling?
Nope!
Made my first apple pie today and this was it! Turned our perfect! Thanks so much for the awesome recipe
Yay! So very happy to hear it!
I made this Tuesday and it’s great! I doubled the amount of topping because it seemed a little sparse on top..maybe I have a larger pie dish…who knows. Other than that I followed the recipe. Oh and I used granny smith apples 🙂
This makes me so happy!
I made this pie for my Sister and she loved it! She said best pie ever!!
I used 1/2 granny Smith and 1/2 honey crisp!!
I will definitely make it again!
Wonderful!! Looked for topping without oats, this is delicious!! Thank you.
My pie tasted great except it was runny. Did I not cook it long enough or what?
This is a great recipe! I’ve made it twice and it’s tasty for sure
That makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing. 🙂
Oh My Word!!! This is the best Dutch Apple pie I have ever made. I used Honeycrisp apples. I didn’t have nutmeg so just left it out & still… Oh My Word!
Yay! This makes me so happy. 🙂
I have never made a pie before! And it turned out amazing! I made it gluten free, dairy free with gluten free flour and pre-made gluten free crust and dairy free butter! And everything turned out amazing (which is always hard to do when cooking GF/DF) thank you for the recipe!
This makes me so happy! Also good to know that it works with GF flour!

I made this pie and it was so delicious and so easy that I have used this recipe several times over this holiday season .
I am so happy to hear that! Yay!
Very good and not to soupy inside like others I’ve tried. The only thing different I added cinnamon to the crumb topping. Otherwise I followed the recipe and used a premade 9″ deep dish pie crust. Yummy!!
This was so easy and turned out so good! Needs a little more butter in the crumble, though. Mine was a little dry so it didn’t get those nice crumble chunks.
Yummy! I googled how many apples I’d need. 8 apples for 6 cups, so I used 7. Way too many. It was domed high. But tasted great!
Fabulous!
My comment is about your website. I couldn’t get this page to stay up on my mobile phone. The page kept refreshing itself every few second. So about the time I was able to find my way to the recipe the page the page would refresh, then take me back to the top of the page. PLEASE consider your viewer’s experience on a smaller device when agreeing to SO MANY ADS & VIDEOS. It was so maddening I final gave up & moved to my desk computer, which defeats the point of being able to use a mobile device. I even had issues trying to type this comment. Every time a new ad popped up the cursor in the comment box jumped around. 🙁
If you hit print recipe it should open just the recipe in a new tab without any distraction 🙂

Tried this recipe today, with pre-made pie crust ( just so quick and convenient) also added an egg wash to the crust before filling, as it keeps the bottom layer from getting soggy later- added a 1/4 cup of flour, used vietnamese cinnamon from penskeys and doubled the crumb topping- It is a wonderful recipe , can’t wait to cut into it!! YUM! Alsos the left over topping goes great on hot oatmeal!
Could this pie be frozen?
Absolutely!
