Dutch Apple Pie

Today was a gorgeous fall day here, perfect for baking.  I haven't made a pie in awhile, and today it just felt like an apple pie kind of day. 

This is really a very simple pie to make, and the streusel topping is such a nice addition to the warm apples.  Serve it warm, with some really good vanilla or French vanilla ice cream.  Delicious!


Dutch Apple Pie

1 packaged pie crust, or use your favorite pie crust recipe
6 cups sliced peeled apples
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon apple pie spice

Topping:

3/4 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
6 tablespoons butter, room temperature

1.  Place pie crust in a deep dish pie plate.
2.  In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and apple pie spice.
3.  Pile the apple mixture into the pie plate, distributing it evenly.
4.  Prepare the topping:  In a medium sized bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, and brown sugar.  Slice the butter into small chunks and add it to the bowl.  Using a fork, blend the ingredients until you have small pea-sized chunks.
5.  Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.
6.  Bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for about 1 hour, or until the top is nicely browned.

Let the pie cool for at least an hour before serving.
