Dutch Apple Pie Supreme Recipe-

Ingredients:

• 5 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4″ thick slices
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, plus 2 tbsp.
• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 pre-made pie crust, 9 inch (I like to use graham cracker crust for my Dutch Apple Pie)
• vanilla ice cream, and/or slices of sharp, aged cheddar cheese, for serving (optional)

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees C).
2. Place your sliced apples into the pie crust, spread evenly.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup white sugar, 2 tablespoons of flour, the nutmeg and cinnamon.
4. Pour this mixture over the apples in the pie pan; drizzle the lemon juice evenly all over the top.
5. In another mixing bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of flour, and 1/2 cup of butter together; work the mixture, cutting and chopping the butter into it, until well incorporated into a chunky topping mixture. Spread this mixture evenly all over the top of the pie mixture.
6. Now take two 15 inch pieces of parchment paper and doubly enclose the pie; fold the edges up securely. Place the pie on a baking pan, place in the oven, and bake for 1 hour.
7. Remove the pie from the oven, place on a wire rack to cool, and split open the parchment paper.
8. Serve your Dutch Apple Pie Supreme while nice and warm. Delicious and popular garnishes are a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top, or a slice of good quality, aged sharp cheddar cheese. Some people (myself included) like to lay a slice of cheese on top of the hot slice of pie, so the cheese starts melting some, then add a scoop of ice cream on top of that. The combination of hot and cold and sweet and tangy is just superb!
