Dutch Apple Pie
Description
Dutch Apple Pie combines tart Granny Smith apples sliced to 1/8 inch thickness and tossed with sugar, flour, cinnamon, cardamom, and optionally raisins. This mixture is placed into a prepared single pie crust. A streusel topping made from flour, brown and white sugars, and cold butter is crumbled over the filling to add texture and sweetness.
When baked at 375°F, the apples cook through to a tender consistency while the crust becomes golden brown and the topping forms a crunchy, buttery crumb. The cardamom adds a subtle warm spice that complements the cinnamon. Raisins provide extra chewy bursts if included.
This pie can be served warm or cooled and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Adding lemon juice to the apples can brighten the flavor and prevent browning. For extra crunch, chopped toasted walnuts can be mixed into the streusel topping.
Ingredients

Instructions

Topping

- Chopped toasted walnuts can be added to the topping for extra texture and flavor.
