Ok, here's another recipe from our Easter dinner. This recipe I found a few years back and have shared it many times, it is that dang good. Dutch Apple Pie is my favorite pie but for years I had a hard time finding the perfect pie. Store bought pies are just a joke, they taste luck rubber. My mother-in-law's isn't bad, but I wasn't over the head in love with it. I found a popular mennonite bakery that sold homemade dutch applie pie and thought at that time I had found the best dang apple pie. Until one year I attempted my own.
I scowered the internet and recipe books until finally I concocted up my own recipe. It's very simple, what I like, and takes all my favourite ingredients.
I scowered the internet and recipe books until finally I concocted up my own recipe. It's very simple, what I like, and takes all my favourite ingredients.
Mix 1 cup of brown sugar, 3 tbsp all-purpose flower, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 cup melted margarine or butter, and 3-4 tbsp milk in a large bowl.
Creme until you get a nice a carmel blend.
Cut and peel 5 to 6 good size apples. I use macintosh because they are nice and sweet, but feel free to use any favourite apple of your choice. And I always have an extra apple handy because for some reason slices seem to mysteriously disappear.
Next, add the sliced apples to the mixture.
Once apples are completely coated, place them in a pie shell.
In a separate bowl, mix the topping. Be sure it has a crumbling consistency and then layer on top of pie.
Place in pre-heated 375 degrees oven. I place a baking pan under it as it will bubble over and make a mess of your oven if you don't.
Bake for 45 minutes to an hour and viola, there you have it.
The best dang apple pie you'll ever have tasted.
Here's the full recipe.
The Best Dang Dutch Apple Pie
1 cup of brown sugar

Mix all above ingredients in a large bowl. Cut and peel 5 to 6 good size apples. Add sliced apples to bowl. Stir and completely cover apples in mix. Using store bought pie crust (though you're welcome to make your own) pour contents of bowl into pie crust.
Topping

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine
Mix all above ingredients until the mixture is the consistency of coarse breadcrumbs. Layer contents over apples as topping. Cook pie in oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes to an hour.
