Deep Dish Dutch Apple Pie is a beloved American dessert that originated in the 20th century. The pie features a buttery flaky crust filled with thinly sliced green apples that are seasoned with cinnamon, brown sugar, and love. It is often served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, making it a satisfying dessert that people crave.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
2.	Peel and thinly slice the apples, and place them in a large bowl. Mix in 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 3/4 teaspoon of cinnamon.
3.	Pour the apple mixture into the unbaked 9-inch deep dish pie pastry.
4.	In a separate bowl, mix together 1/3 cup of brown sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, and 6 tablespoons of butter to form the crumb topping.
5.	Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples, covering the entire surface of the pie.
6.	Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the apples are tender when pierced with a fork.

It is recommended to wait for the pie to cool down before serving to avoid a crumbly mess.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Apples are full of vitamins and antioxidants, which means that they can help reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and some types of cancer. They are also a good source of fiber, which can promote good digestion and keep you feeling full.
However, the high amount of sugar and butter in this recipe can make it unhealthy if consumed in large amounts. It is important to eat this pie in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
