Classic Dutch Apple Pie
This traditional American dessert features a flaky, buttery pastry base filled with tart Granny Smith apples and a fragrant cinnamon-spiced filling. Instead of a standard top crust, it is finished with a generous, crunchy brown sugar streusel that browns to perfection in the oven. This recipe is a staple for gatherings, offering a perfect harmony of sweet, tart, and buttery textures that celebrate seasonal fruit.

Ingredients
6 cups Granny Smith apples, sliced thinly
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.75 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
0.5 cup brown sugar
0.5 cup granulated white sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 prepared pie dough (9-inch)
Instructions
Roll out the chilled pie dough and fit it into a nine-inch pie pan, then trim the edges and chill in the refrigerator.
In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with granulated sugar and half the cinnamon until well coated.
Pour the apple mixture into the chilled pie crust, mounding slightly in the center.
In a medium bowl, combine the remaining flour, brown sugar, and cold cubed butter.
Use your fingers to rub the butter into the dry ingredients until large, coarse crumbs form.
Scatter the streusel topping evenly over the apple layer.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 55 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Notes
Ensure the butter for the streusel is cold to achieve the best crumbly texture. You may use a pre-made crust for convenience. Store the pie covered at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
