Dutch apple pie, or apple crumble pie, is a delicious spin on a traditional apple pie. It's sugary crumble topping makes this the perfect dessert for Thanksgiving!
If someone made me choose between a traditional apple pie, and a dutch apple pie, I don't think I could choose. Although they both seem similar, they're just so different! This recipe for dutch apple pie has been in my family for years, and it's a dessert I love having at least once a year. I'm a sucker for all things apple crisp and cobbler, so putting it into a pie just feels right. If you need a recipe for Dutch apple pie this Thanksgiving, look no further, this one is perfect.
Recipe for Dutch Apple Pie:
This recipe for dutch apple pie is super easy to make! You start off by cooking water, apple juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and cornstarch together in a pot on the stove. Once it's thickened remove it from the heat and stir in your apples and vanilla extract. Then you'll pour the apple mixture into a frozen pie crust, bake for 10 minutes, add your crumble topping, and then bake for another 35 minutes. It's a super easy process and turns out fabulous every time.
Can You Make Dutch Apple Pie Ahead of Time?
Yes! I love to make all my pies the night before Thanksgiving so that it's one less thing I have to worry about the day of. Does it make it incredibly hard for me to exercise self control and not eat all the pies ahead of time? Yes. But definitely a time saver. This pie can be covered with foil, and sit at room temperature until you're ready to serve.
Difference Between Apple Pie and Dutch Apple Pie:
The major difference between apple pie and dutch apple pie is that a traditional apple pie typically has two crusts. One on the top, and one on the bottom. A Dutch apple pie, or apple crumble pie, has one crust on the bottom, and a brown sugar crumble baked on top. Both pies are amazing, but if you love a good apple crisp, this pie might be the one for you!
