Dutch Apple Crisp Pie is a delicious dessert that is a twist on the classic apple pie. This version features a crumbly and buttery topping made with rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, and spices, and a tender and flaky crust. The filling is made with juicy and tart apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
To make it a healthy version, you can use a whole-grain crust, like spelt or whole wheat, and swap the traditional sugar for a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. You can also reduce the amount of butter or use a plant-based alternative like coconut oil.
Adding in chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts or pecans can increase the nutritional value and add a nice crunch to the topping. You can also experiment with adding in other fruits, like pears or berries, or using a mix of apples for added flavor and texture.
Serving the Dutch Apple Crisp Pie with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream is a classic and delicious way to enjoy it, but you can also serve it with a healthier alternative like Greek yogurt or a dairy-free coconut whipped cream.
