How to Make Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Crumb Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt for the crumble topping. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the peeled and sliced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
  4. Pour the apple mixture into a 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought).
  5. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the apples.
  6. If using canned filling, skip steps 2 and 3 and pour the filling into a 9-inch pie crust. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the filling.
  7. Bake for 60-70 minutes (45 minutes if using canned filling), or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If using canned filling bake at 350°F (175°C)
  8. Let cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
