NEW! WEEKWORD = ABUNDANCE

ABUNDANCE = WEEKWORD
Katy at Creating Misericordia asked me to select the word for this week.

I had an ABUNDANCE of apples, so I made a Dutch Apple Pie for dessert tonight. Our Thanksgiving includes both Pumpkin Pie & Dutch Apple pie...  I'm ready to welcome NOVEMBER & getting my holiday planning started...

DUTCH APPLE PIE
6-8 tart green apples
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp cloves & nutmeg
9" unbaked pie crust

Peel & cut apples into thick slices. 
Sprinkle with lemon juice to keep the apples from turning brown.

Measure & sprinkle sugar & spices 
(cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg) over the sliced apples. 

Arrange apples slices in unbaked pie crust.

CRUMB TOPPING
3/4 c flour
1/2 c sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/3 c butter
 
Mix crumb topping ingredients until mixture 
resembles coarse crumbs. Spread evenly over apple slices. 
Bake at 350 degrees for 40-45 minutes.


Serve with ice cream or thin slices of EDAM cheese! 
Yummy to the tummy!

  1. Hi,

    Your house must smell wonderful after baking that pie. I love pies with crumb toppings but I hate, hate peeling apples. I bought Heather an apple peeler and maybe I should get one for myself. (-: Great tutorial!

  2. That looks delicious! I made my first ever pumpkin pie yesterday so I was feeling quite virtuous, but I can't remember the last time I made a crumble (much to Matt's distress, he absolutely loves the stuff!).

  15. I made the Dutch Apple pie with a combination of Cortland, MacIntosh and Pears! No crust (because I can't do crusts ): Your recipe is so yummy it is going into the 'continuing' cookbook. Keep up the good work; I enjoy reading your blog.
