Easy Apple Pie Recipes

Dutch Apple Pie, also known as Apple Crumb Pie, is a delectable dessert comprised of tart apples in a sugary broth with a sweet crumb topping.

This on of my grandchildrens' favorite and is always requested, no, demanded, at any family gathering.

Dutch Apple Pie Recipe

Ingredients:
1(6oz) Graham Cracker Pie Crust
1 egg white, beaten
5 1/2 cups sliced apples (I like Granny Smith or a combination of Cortland and McIntosh apples)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping:
3 tablespoons of flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup butter

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees

Brush the bottom and sides of the pie crust with the egg white. Place the pie crust on a baking sheet and bake until light brown-approximately 5 minutes.

Peel, core and slice the apples.

Combine apples in a large bowl with the lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Mix well.

Put apple mixture in pie crust.

Make topping:
In small bowl combine flour, sugar and brown sugar. Mix in 1/3 cup softened butter. Sprinkle topping evenly over the pie.

Bake 50 minutes.

Remove and let cook 10-20 minutes before serving.

This is a variation of the Dutch Apple Pie recipe. By adding melted caramels to the pie mixture and the topping you will have a completely different and very sweet tasting apple pie. It tastes great with French Vanilla ice cream.
