How to Make Creamy Dutch Apple Dessert

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a 1 1/2-quart baking dish, melt 1/4 cup (57g) butter in the preheated oven for about 2-3 minutes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup (60g) rolled oats, 1/2 cup (60g) packed light brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Cut in 1/4 cup (57g) cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Sprinkle the crumb mixture evenly over the melted butter in the dish. Press firmly into the bottom of the dish to create a crust.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 (14-ounce) can sweetened condensed milk, 1 cup (227g) sour cream, and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
  6. Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the crumb crust.
  7. Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 6 cups). Toss the apples with 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Spoon the apple filling evenly over the creamy layer.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
  9. Let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
  10. While the dessert is cooling, prepare the topping by combining 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  11. Sprinkle the nut mixture over the top of the cooled dessert.
  12. Serve warm or cold. Refrigerate leftovers.
