Uncle Bill’s Dutch Apple Pie

Ingredients

Filling

4 Granny Smith apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced)

Squeeze of Lemon juice (about 1/2 a lemon, adjust based on how tart you want your pie)

1/2 cup organic raw sugar

1/4 cup Brown sugar

1/4 cup Flour

1/2 tbsp Cinnamon

Topping

1 cup Flour

1/2 cup Brown sugar

1/2 cup White sugar

1 tablespoon Cinnamon

1 stick cold butter, cubed

Crust (adapted from Inspired Taste)

1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 tsp raw sugar

1 stick (8 tbsp) cold unsalted butter, cubed

4 to 6 tablespoons ice water

Instructions

For the Crust

If you buy it from the store, I won’t tell anybody :)

1. In a food processor, pulse together flour, salt, and sugar until combined. Then, add in cubed butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of butter.

2. Drizzle in 4 tablespoons of ice water and pulse until the dough starts to come together. If needed, add more ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together when pinched.

3. Roll the dough onto a clean surface, shape into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

For the Pie

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the pie crust, place it in your pie pan, and set aside.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine all filling ingredients until the apples are well coated. Let the mixture sit for at least 5 minutes before adding it to the crust.

3. In another bowl, mix the topping ingredients with a fork until crumbly. You can also use your hands to pinch the butter into small pieces and coat them with the dry ingredients.

4. Add the apple filling to the crust, then sprinkle the topping over it. Bake for 50-55 minutes. Serve warm!
