Dutch Apple Pie

Recipe Description

Good grief you have to love the genius of the first person to ever decide to take fruit, put it in a pastry crust and create pie. There have been lots of adaptions along the way. We have hand fried apple pies, we eat it La mode, with a top crust..well the possibilities are endless. This recipe for Dutch Apple Pie is absolutely wonderful. The filling in the pie sets up nicely, if there’s one thing that drives me batty its when the filling spills out and onto the pie plate. This set up perfectly , even though I cut it when it was slightly warm. You can save yourself some time and use a pre made pie crust. I made homemade and will include that recipe after the pie filling recipe just in case you want to try it. It always turns out so flaky and delicious and can be made a day ahead and stored in the fridge. I’ve said this before and I’m saying it again. Lemon does wonderful things to apples, it brightens their flavor just like it does for berries. Please don’t skip tossing the apples with lemon juice. The apple filling recipe didn’t have enough cinnamon in it for my taste buds so next time I’ll be making this with 1 tsp cinnamon in the filling. My husband stood in the kitchen waving the pie in the air trying to make it cool faster so he could have a slice. LOL!! And when he finally got a slice, it was followed by another. You’re going to love this Delicious Dutch Apple Pie! Enjoy!
