DUTCH APPLE PIE



Dutch Apple Pie image

This delicious Dutch apple pie was brought to my mother's home the day after my father died on Christmas Eve 25 years ago.

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.

GRANDMA MARGE'S DUTCH APPLE PIE



Grandma Marge's Dutch Apple Pie image

This is the only fruit filled pie that I will eat. I always request it when going home for the holidays. Good when it is still warm from the oven. And still yummy the next day. Just place a strip of waxed paper over the cut edge of your pie, if you cover the whole thing the topping will get soggy. My mother enjoys her pie with real whipped cream, my husband like his with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, but I love mine just the way it is! Yum

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 1 pie

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pie crust
2/3 cup flour
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup butter
2 lbs tart cooking apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Have your pastry crust in a 9 inch pie plate chilling in the fridge.
  • To make the topping mix flour and brown sugar, cut in butter with a pastry cutter (I believe that is what it is called) or using 2 knives in a criss-cross motion until crumbly. Place in fridge until ready to use.
  • Peel, core and slice the apples. Sprinkle apples with lemon juice. Mix flour, sugar, salt and cinnamon and stir into apples. Pour apple mixture into chilled pie crust and top with crumb topping.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes or until apples are done. Keep an eye on it while baking as you may have to cover pie crust edges with foil to prevent them from getting too brown. I also place an empty pizza pan on the rack just below my pie to catch any juice dripping.
  • Prep time will vary depending on the way you peel, core & slice the apples, by hand, food processor or machine.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your pie a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady apples.
  • Peel and core your apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pie pan. Leave some space between the apples so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use a pastry brush to brush the edges of the pie crust with water before baking. This will help to seal the crust and prevent it from becoming dry.
  • Bake the pie until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This will take about 1 hour.
  • Let the pie cool for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned Dutch apple pie is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flaky crust, sweet and tangy filling, and warm spices, this pie is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a delicious and comforting dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
