This Apple Pie with Crumb Topping is a mix between a Dutch Apple Pie and an Apple Crisp. Tart apples in a sweetly spiced filling, topped with a crunchy oat crumb.

What is a Dutch Apple Pie? 

A Dutch Apple Pie has a sweet streusel crumb topping that consists of sugar, butter, and flour. Sometimes this will also include chopped nuts. This recipe switches out the nuts for old-fashioned oats.

My husband loves this recipe, but he has a big sweet tooth. Top this pie with some freshly whipped cream or ice-cream for a delicious dessert to serve your guests. A perfect autumn dessert!

 

Ingredients to Make Apple Pie with Crumb Topping

  • apples (tart apples such as Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, or Jonagold work well.)
  • all-purpose flour
  • old-fashioned oats
  • vegetable shortening
  • butter
  • sugar
  • brown sugar
  • water
  • cinnamon
  • nutmeg
  • salt

Instructions for Making This Recipe

To begin, preheat oven to 425 degrees. Using a paring knife, peel, core and slice the apples.

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine apple slices, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir until mixed well. Heat in microwave for 7-10 minutes until apples start to soften. Set aside while you prepare the pie pastry.

In a medium sized bowl, mix together flour and salt. Add shortening and cut in with a pastry fork until crumbly. Add 1/8 cup water and mix, then add the rest of the water to finish mixing the dough. Dough should hold together in a ball.

Roll dough out on floured surface the size of your pie plate. Place in pie plate and crimp edges of pie. Add apple mixture on top of the unbaked crust.

Use Your Fingers to Incorporate the Butter

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, flour, oats, and cinnamon. With a pastry fork or your fingers, cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. I actually like to use my fingers for this part as I am able to incorporate the butter better that way. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apple filling.

Place the pie plate on the second lowest rack in your oven and bake for 15 minutes. Lower oven temperature to 375 degrees and bake for an additional 35-40 minutes until top is golden brown, using aluminum foil if necessary to prevent edges from getting too dark.

Oat Streusel Dutch Apple Pie

Remove from oven, and allow to cool on a wire rack.

To serve, drizzle caramel over the top of the pie as desired and serve with freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This recipe will serve 8 people.

Cinnamon Applesauce

Cinnamon Applesauce

My grandma had apple trees in her yard and always made applesauce from her autumn harvest. Cinnamon Applesauce. Sweet, tart, chunky applesauce. So yummy and delicious!

She gave me a sackful of apples when I was in college, my first summer away from home. The dormitory had closed for the summer so I had rented an apartment with another girl and had my very own kitchen. Small, but it had a refrigerator and a stove.

What did I do with all those apples? I made a pie. And applesauce. My grandma’s recipe.

 

My Grandma’s Recipe

Green Apples

Her apples were green. My mom never knew which variety. Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, or something else. But they were tart, and they made great applesauce.

From time to time, I still get a sack of apples in the fall–now from my folks who have apple trees on their land. My dad loves to make apple cider, so this only happens when my mom steals a few from his stash. And then I’ll make a homemade apple pie. Or applesauce. My grandma’s recipe.

 

Ingredients for Cinnamon Applesauce

  • cooking apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
  • water
  • granulated sugar
  • ground cinnamon

 

Simple Instructions for Making This Recipes

Honey Crisp Apples

Using a pairing knife, peel, slice and core the apples. You may also opt to use an apple corer to save time.

The apples above came from my mom and dad’s apple tree, and are sweeter than a green apple. This still makes a wonderful applesauce. 

Placing Apples in the Saucepot

In large saucepan, combine apples and water. Cook until the apples are soft, about 1 1/2 – 2 hours.

Adding Sugar to the Cooked Apples

Once the apples are soft, add in the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.

Mashing the Cooked Apples

Using a potato masher, finish mashing any large pieces. Stir to combine. I like my applesauce chunky.

From here, you may eat, can, or freeze as you desire. If freezing, allow the applesauce to cool to room temperature.

Recipe for Chocolate Applesauce Cake

This recipe makes 6 cups, so I’ll usually pour some in plastic containers and store them in the freezer. We enjoy eating it fresh, but I also like using it in recipes. Like my Chocolate Applesauce Cake (also my grandma’s recipe).

Serving Cinnamon Applesauce after it's Cooled

Our youngest daughter loves homemade applesauce. It always made her especially happy to come home from school and smell it simmering on the stove. She’s married now and has her own place in the country. I look forward to the day when I can take her a sack of my dad’s apples. So she can make a homemade apple pie. Or Cinnamon Applesauce. My grandma’s recipe.
