Recipe of the Week: Dutch Apple Pie

Hi, all! The hubby of my friend Megan F. celebrated a birthday on Sunday, so I baked one of his favorite desserts for him - a Dutch apple pie:

Here's my recipe:

Pie Ingredients:

• 6 tart apples (I used Granny Smith apples in this pie)
• 3/4 cup white sugar
• 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/8 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1 unbaked pie crust (I like to use Jiffy Pie Crust Mix...it's super easy and the results always turn out great for me!)

Topping Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup cold butter, sliced
• 1/3 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup quick oats
• 2/3 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Method:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel, core and thinly slice apples. Place slices in a large bowl and add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and flour. Gently stir to coat apples and set bowl aside. 

Roll out pie crust and place into pie place, crimping edges as desired.

In a medium-sized bowl, combine topping ingredients. Using a fork, mix together until crumbly. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the pie, being sure to coat the top as evenly as possible. Gently press topping into pie with your hand. 

Bake for 1 hour, possibly 5 minutes more if needed, and remove from oven to cool. Slice and enjoy with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired...DEEEEELICIOUS!!! :)

Have a blessed day!
