Honey crisp apples and oats are the star ingredients in this healthy, homemade pie.

Which do you prefer: apple pie or apple crisp? Trick question because you can have both when you make my Dutch Apple Crisp Pie. The key to baking a delicious pie is picking the perfect apple. Sounds simple, but not an easy task with over 2500 varieties grown in the United States alone. For this recipe, I recommend using fresh, honey crisp apples. They’re slightly tart and naturally sweet so you don’t need to add much sugar, and they hold their shape well when baked so you don’t end up with mushy applesauce texture. In addition to the apple, the crust is important too (check out my post Top Ten Pie Baking Tips). However, in a pinch there’s no shame in using a ready-to-eat shell to save time. For the crumb topping, I use old-fashioned rolled oats. This adds fiber and crunch and makes the pie look and taste like apple crisp. Serve your pie warm or go ahead and add a scoop of your favorite vanilla ice cream or gelato.
