Dutch Apple Pie Recipe

Reviewed on Apr. 14, 2011 by senzascusa

YUM! I'm so glad there were leftovers after my hubby took it for his friends! Really great. How, regarding the spices--it was only AFTER I began baking that I realized the filling contained no spices. In shock, I ran to read all the reviews and saw nearly everyone added them, so I did too. I added Cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. It tasted AMAZING. Without the spices the filling was VERY bland.

The crust on the other hand--wow! Very fattening and high in sugar, but WOW! Deffo a recipe I will return to regularly.

My whole family enjoys this for dessert!! I've made it several times for pot luck events and always receive rave reviews.

I am not a pie crust lover, and neither is my husband, so we look for recipes that have an alternative crust - this pie was absolutely delicious and a big hit at the family Thanksgiving Dinner. I will definitely be making this again!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!

My husband doesn't care for apple pie, but he really liked this. I will make this again. I also put cinnamon in it because we like cinnamon in apple desserts.

It would have gotten 5 stars if there were more spices in the filling though. I follow this recipe then add cinnamon, clove, allspice & ginger to taste...its a hit!

I may never make a regular crust again. This is a great pie. I added about teaspoon of salt to the filling. Then I added a teaspoon of salt and cinnamon to the crust. Accidentally I put the apples in with the water and starch and it still worked.

I was really disappointed with this, particularly after reading all the rave reviews. I won't make the filling again because it was tasteless even after adding spices and didn't set right, but I will be using the crust recipe (a 3/4 recipe) for the next pie I make. Perhaps that will turn out better.

Reserving just a cup for topping left the crust really thick, so I reserved about 1 3/4 cup, which turned out nicely. I used 2 different kinds of apples to get a flavor blend and sprinkled some cinnamon and nutmeg on the bottom crust before putting the apple mixture in. Unfortunately, this still didn't really give the filling any flavor. I was amazed at how thick the water/cornstarch/sugar mixture got after boiling, but it was really jelly-like when I took it out of the oven. I was worried that it wouldn't set as it cooled, and it didn't really.

I will say though, that EVERY TOH pie recipe I read calls for a 9" pie dish, but EVERY ONE I make NEEDS a 9.5" Deep Dish pan. Don't believe what you read in the recipe; it doesn't fit in the smaller dish.

I would bake it a touch longer because I prefer the apples softer but the taste was terrific and I like the oatmeal in the crust. It reminds me of a pie and apple crisp rolled into one!!!

As a 'real' born and raised Dutchie I never put any extra sugar in this pie. I don't like it so sweet it needs to be a little sweet and a little sour (of applles or lemonjuice) instead - it's ment to be a fresh treat. That's the reason why I only use sugar in the 'dough', together with the apples I mix in some cinnamon and lemonjuice (spoon) - it's toooo yammie ... with whipped cream! Enjoy.

My husband said this was the best apple pie he's had. I added cinnamon and nutmeg and used an extra apple and a little less sugar in the filling. The apples were fresh tasting and the crust was crunchy and delicious. I'll be making this again!

Absolutely fantastic- family loved it-did add maple syrup to apples and did cut back on the cornstarch by 1 tablespoon- worked out great.

This is a big favorite in our house. It was the first pie recipe both our daughters baked; so easy with the pat-in-the-pan crust. Sometimes if we're short on fresh fruit we'll make it with canned apple pie filling. Delicious, and even more so with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Amazing, EASY apple pie recipe! I was looking for a quick and easy recipe to try and found it! The pie has all the flavors of a "traditional" apple pie but takes 1/2 the time! I added some cinnamon and nutmeg to the syrup to add some more fall essence... overall an award winning recipe!

I rated this Good because the topping and the crust were good because it was different but there was to much sugar in this recipe so I will try it again with less sugar.

My family loved this apple pie. This is a simple recipe. I substitued Brown Sugar Splenda in the crust but not in the filling. I also added about 1/2 tsp of apple pie spice to the filling to give it a little more flavor. It turned out perfectly!
