Deep Dish Dutch Apple Pie with Peanut Butter Streusel

To make the crust, combine the butter, flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a food processor with a steel blade and pulse just until it resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly pour in the ice water and pulse just until combined and a dough ball forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour.

Peel, core and slice the apples. Combine them in a bowl with the sugar, lemon juice, flour and salt.

After the dough has chilled, roll it out on a well-floured surface until it’s about a 12″ circle. Lay it into a deep dish pie or tart pan (mine is 9″ x 2 1/2″) and pour the apple mixture into the dish.

Preheat the oven to 350 F.

Make the crumb topping by combining the sugar, flour, peanut butter and dash of salt in a bowl. Using your fingers, crumble the mixture over the top of the apple filling. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the top and sides are a light golden brown.
