Ingredients




For Filling and Crust:
1 sticks of unsalted butter
1 1/4 cups white all purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup ice cold water (approximate)
5 Medium Braeburn Apples
2/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg
For Topping:
3/4 flour
1 cup and two tablespoons butter
3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation

1 Cut 1 sticks of butter into 1/2 inch cubes 2 Place into freezer for 20 minutes 3 Place 1 1/4 cups flour, 1/2 tablespoon sugar, and salt in food processor and pulse a few times to mix. 4 After butter has been in the freezer for 20 minutes, add to food processor and pulse 5-6 times. The goal is to mix the butter into the flour. The cubes of butter should be no smaller than peas. 5 Move flour mixture to large bowl 6 Add water to flour 2 tablespoons at a time. Toss with fork. We want to get to the point when you take your hand squeeze a handful of flour, it should stick together. 7 Work dough until it sticks together somewhat well and is in a disk. We don’t want the butter to fully incorporate. If you need to add more water, you can, but do so only very sparingly. 8 Tightly wrap in plastic wrap and place in freezer for 20 minutes 9 Add 3/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg to large bowl 10 While freezing, peel and finely slice 5 large apples. 11 Mix apples, 2/3 cup sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. 12 Preheat oven to 425 13 Take dough out of freezer and unwrap 14 Get to your zen place. Roll out the dough. I suggest looking at the section above where I talk about rolling out the dough. 15 Place one pie crust on the bottom 16 Add pie filling 17 Mix topping ingredients together well and spread evenly on top of pie 18 Trim excess dough, but the crust will shink a bit, so leave a bit 19 Using fork, crimp the crust to give a pie crust look 20 Put in for 35 minutes 21 Remove tinfoil 22 Check every 5 minutes and remove when it looks done. 40-45 minutes 23 Let rest for at least 2 hours 24 SERVE

About

Not quite apple crisp, but not quite an apple pie. The Dutch Apple Pie is a great way to get both an awesome crust, but also enjoy a beautiful streusel topping. Besides the flavor, a Dutch Apple Pie is slightly easier to make than a traditional apple pie with a flaky crust topping. The streusel topping recipe in this does not lack in flavor and is just a tad easier than the traditional pie. This Dutch Apple Pie recipe is delicious.
