This Dutch Apple Pie is my all-time favorite apple pie! Made with a deliciously flavorful apple pie filling and it’s finished with a sweet and buttery streusel crumb topping.
Dutch Apple Pie! Also known as an Apple Crumble Pie, this delicious Autumn dessert is not to be missed.
When planning desserts for a holiday or get together I could honestly skip the cake anytime, and go without. Pie, on the other hand, is my kind of dessert.
Sweet and warm fruit with a flaky crust then topped with whipped cream or ice cream… or both.
WHAT IS A DUTCH APPLE PIE VS A TRADITIONAL APPLE PIE?
The difference between a Dutch apple pie and a regular apple pie is the streusel topping. There are tons of variations on this recipe out there in the universe, but today I’m sharing my method, which I find to be the easiest!
Dutch apple pie has an amazing crumble topping made up of butter, flour and brown sugar that gives it a sweet and crunchy topping. While a traditional pie has a flaky pastry crust for both the bottom and the top. It is a nice change of pace and one of our favorite apple pies.
Dutch Apple Pie Crust:
Store-bought or a homemade crust will work fine for this recipe. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
Most crust recipes and crust from the store will come with a top and bottom crust.
For this recipe, you will only need one crust since you will have the crumble topping.
If you want to make it homemade then try out my recipe homemade pie crust.
It’s so simple to make and taste amazing! Once your pie crust is ready you can place it in an empty pie pan. I must confess that I make my apple pie with store-bought dough many times. It’s much easier!

How to make Dutch Apple Pie

- In a mixing bowl put all filling ingredients, and mix until apples are coated. Allow your apples filling to sit for at least 5 minutes before adding them to the crust.
- Meanwhile, in a separate mixing bowl use a fork to combine all topping ingredients until the mixture is well combined and crumbly. You can use a fork but I also like to get in with my hands. Pinching the butter into small pieces and having them coated in the dry ingredients.
