This Dutch apple pie has a rich and crumbly topping with tender apples underneath. I like to bake it in a brown paper bag or cover with parchment paper to guarantee a beautiful golden crust. It is so delicious served warm with ice cream!

Ingredients
- 1 (9-inch) unbaked pie crust
- 5 large Granny Smith apples – peeled, cored and sliced
- ½ cup white sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- ½ cup white sugar
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cold butter, cubed
Steps
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Arrange pastry in the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Place apples in crust.
- Mix 1/2 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon together in a bowl; pour over apples in crust. Sprinkle lemon juice on top.
- To make the crumble topping: Place 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup flour in a bowl. Cut in cold butter with 2 knives or pastry blender until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs; sprinkle crumble mixture evenly over apples.
- Take two 15-inch pieces of parchment paper and enclose pie; fold edges up 3 times. Place on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven, without opening the parchment, for 1 hour. Remove from oven, split parchment open, and cool pie on a wire rack. Serve warm, or at room temperature.
