Thanksgiving will be here before you know it so I thought for the next few weeks I’d some of my favorite recipes that won’t leave you in the kitchen for hours! This week I’m sharing a Easy Dutch Apple Pie recipe. It is a highly requested recipe at my house & doesn’t take much time to make. I use a pre-made pie crust (shhh it’s our little secret!) and Honeycrisp or Jonagold apples (I once read they are good for baking because they don’t get mushy). My daughters help with this recipe too so it makes me enjoy it even more! Come back next week for another recipe that would be a perfect addition for your table this Thanksgiving.

Easy Dutch Apple Pie

1 pre-made pie crust, softened per box directions

Filling:

5 c. peeled and semi thin sliced apples ( I like Honeycrisp or Jonagold)

1/3 c. white sugar

3 Tbsp. flour

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/4 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. apple pie spice

1 Tbsp. lemon juice

Topping:

8 Tbsp. cold butter, sliced

3/4 c. flour

3/4 c. brown sugar

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place pie crust in 9 inch pie plate according to box directions. Mix sliced apples with flour, sugar, spices and lemon juice. Once mixed well spoon on top of crust lined pie plate. In a medium bowl mix together topping ingredients using a pastry blender until it becomes crumbly. Sprinkle over apples. Bake 45-50 minutes or until crumb topping is golden brown. After 15 minutes of baking cover crust with pie crust shield and continue baking. Let cool 2 hours before serving. Enjoy!
