Dutch Apple Pie
Dutch Apple Pie is my all time favorite pie. Homemade crust, apples , cinnamon and the crumb topping…I love the crumb topping. 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.
This recipe for Delicious 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.
I stood in the kitchen waving the pie in the air trying to make it cool faster so I could have a slice. And when I finally got a slice, it was followed by another. You’re going to love this Delicious Dutch Apple Pie! Enjoy!

All Butter Pie Crust Directions
- I have mixed the flour and salt in a bowl and put it in the freezer as well. having all the ingredients very cold is the key to making this butter crust.
- In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in butter with pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in water, a tablespoon at a time, until mixture forms a ball. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
- I've never waited 4 hours for it to refrigerate, 2 hours is the longest refrigeration time I've ever given the dough before using it the same day. I have made it and placed it in the fridge overnight to use the next day..
- Roll dough out to fit a 9 inch pie plate. Place crust in pie plate. Press the dough evenly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate.
