You're gonna LOVE Dutch Crumb Apple Pie! This classic apple pie, topped with buttery pecan streusel crumbs will be a hit with everyone who enjoys dessert!
Prepare the crumb topping: In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar and chunks of the the butter. Cut in the butter using a pastry blender or two forks. Cut the butter in until the mixture is crumbly and the butter has been reduced to the size of peas. Stir in the chopped pecans (or walnuts). Set aside.
Pour the apple filling into a prepared (*unbaked) pie crust lined pie pan. Cover the entire surface of the pie with the crumb topping, and forming a mound which rises in the middle of the pie. Use all the crumbs (the topping will flatten out a bit while baking).
TIP FOR BAKING: Place a large piece of aluminum foil under the pie in oven, on the rack below the one the pie will be on. This will catch any drips, and help with easy clean-up.
Bake pie at 425 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Pie should be bubbly and golden brown when done. Remove hot pie to a wire rack to cool a bit before serving. Slice a piece, top it with some vanilla ice cream... and ENJOY!
