I had a fun day baking this recipe. Rachel, who is the pie crust expert in our family, contributed a fluffy, delicious pie crust. I got busy and assembled the inside of the pie. My little grandson (as you can see in the picture) wanted to be our official taste tester! It was a great family activity.
Dutch apple pie is my favorite. To me it is like two desserts in one with the crumble on top. It would actually be three desserts in one if you added a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top while it is still warm. Could your day get any better? Seriously?!
p.s. For the pie crust we use this recipe by Gluten Free on a Shoestring. It is amazing and her instructions are fabulous. For our Dutch Apple Pie, you don’t need to proof the pie crust. Just prepare the crust as instructed here, then fill it with the filling and topping and bake.
