Indulge in the ultimate comfort dessert with our Deep Dish Dutch Apple Pie recipe. Learn how to create a flaky crust and cinnamon crumb topping!
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (180 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) salt
- 2 egg yolks
- 1/4 cup cold beef fat, cubed (57 g)
- 3/8 cup water (90 ml)
- 6 apples – peeled, cored, and chopped
- 3/4 cup cane sugar (150 g)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (15 g)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground mulling spices
- 1 pinch salt
- 1/2 cup beef fat, softened (113 g)
- 1/2 cup cane sugar (100 g)
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour (90 g)
- 3/4 cup rolled oats (75 g)
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Work the egg yolks and chilled beef fat into the flour until the mixture resembles fine crumbs. Gradually incorporate the water, adding just enough until the dough begins to come together. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes.
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough and fit it into a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan.
- Set your oven to heat at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a large bowl, thoroughly mix the apples, sugar, flour, mulling spices, and a pinch of salt. Transfer the apple mixture into the pie crust you’ve prepared.
- With an electric mixer, blend the softened beef fat and sugar in a separate bowl until creamy. Add the flour, oats, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt, stirring until combined. Evenly distribute this crumb topping over the apple filling.
- Place the pie in the preheated oven and bake until the crust and topping achieve a golden hue and the filling begins to bubble, which should take about an hour.
Notes
- Use chilled beef fat in the pie crust for a flaky and tender texture.
- Ensure apples are peeled, cored, and chopped uniformly for an even filling.
- Adjust sugar quantity in the apple filling to your desired level of sweetness.
