Easy Dutch Apple Pie with Crumb Topping Recipe

This delicious Dutch Apple Pie is made with a homemade pie crust, apples, lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg!

Howdy folks!

Today I have an amazing recipe for a delicious Dutch Apple Pie with Crumb Topping. It just may be the perfect apple pie.

Made with a homemade pie crust (or ready-made crust), apple filling, lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg! A step up from a traditional apple pie, though there is nothing better than baked apples and a flaky pie crust am I right?

The golden delicious crumb on the top of this homemade apple crumble pie makes all the difference. Serve however you prefer, warm with ice cream or whipped cream, or maybe chilled from the fridge.

In my opinion, this is the best apple pie I have come across and I owe it to the streusel topping. I have a feeling you’ll never go back to a regular apple pie again after giving this apple crumb pie a try and getting rave reviews!

After you’ve baked the pie, let the pie cool for around 15 minutes, then serve with whipped topping, a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or as is! Store leftovers in the refrigerator, covering the pie with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
