Ingredients

Filling

  • 2 pounds tart apples – peeled, cored, and sliced
  • ½ cup sultanas or raisins
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Crust

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, beaten, divided
  • 1/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pan.

Step 2
Combine flour, butter, 1 1/2 eggs, 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a large bowl. Knead by hand to form a smooth, consistent dough.

Step 3
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out 3/4 of the dough into a 10-inch circle; press over the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.

Step 4
Mix apples, sultanas, 1/4 cup white sugar, and 1 tablespoon cinnamon together in a bowl. Spread over dough in the cake pan.

Step 5
Roll out remaining dough into a circle; cut into strips about 1/3-inch wide. Form an X in the center of the tart with the 2 longest strips. Create a lattice by weaving vertical and horizontal strips in an over-and-under pattern, using the shortest strips for the edges. Press ends of the strips firmly to the edge of the tart; trim excess dough with a knife.

Step 6
Brush remaining beaten egg over dough.

Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is light brown, 60 to 65 minutes.

    my go-to recipe for traditional Dutch apple pie 🙂 I usually add 2 teaspoons of cinnamon, since 1 tablespoon can be a bit overpowering.

    Soggy base, too little browning and undercooked apples even at the far end of the timings, i’d try this again but knock the oven temp up a bit and toss a little polenta into the case to prevent some of that sogg

    My family loved this. I left out the sugar in the pie crust, just using some to sprinkle on top of the crust. I love how the apple filling has no butter nor too much sugar. The filling is sweet and thick because of the apples, naturally. So lovely!

    I followed the recipe as written. I liked the contrast of the slightly sweet crust with the tart Granny Smith apples. I used store brand raisins.
    This recipe turned out as good as the one we made with our Dutch exchange student.
