Dutch Apple Pie

Another treat from the archives. Dutch apple pie, also known as appeltaart or appelgebak:




  • 1 keebler graham cracker pie crust

  • 1 large egg yolk, beaten

  • 5 1/2 cups sliced, cored, peeled cooking apples

  • 1 tbsp lemon juice

  • 1/2 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar

  • 3 tbsp flour

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 3/4 cup flour

  • 1/4 cup sugar

  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar

  • 1/3 cup butter @ room temperature

Preheat oven to 375. Brush bottom & sides of crust evenly with egg yolk, bake on baking sheet until light brown - about 5 minutes. Remove crust from oven.


Combine sliced apples, lemon juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 3 tbsp flour, salt cinnamon & nutmeg. Mix well & spoon into crust.


Mix remaining flour, sugar, brown sugar & butter with a fork or pastry blender (who the hell has a pastry blender??) until crumbly.


Sprinkle topping mixture evenly over apples.


Bake on baking sheet until topping is golden and filling is bubbling - about 50 minutes.


Cool on wire rack.
