Old Fashioned Dutch Apple Pie is a recipe post by contributing author, Andrea Ferenchik.
Every Thanksgiving, my sister-in-law Mindy brings an apple pie. She’s been making pies with her mom and grandma since she was young. Now that she has kids, she’s expanded the tradition.
Last year, she and her family plus 7 other families got together and made over 30 pies! This pie easily freezes so it can be made ahead of time and popped in the oven on Thanksgiving.
Mindy tells me the KEY to this pie is using a variety of apples. For this pie, I googled “best apples for apple pie.” I then just picked two of every variety that my local grocery store had in stock.
For the pie crust, I used a store-bought refrigerated crust. If you like a flaky crust, I recommend Trader Joe’s pie crust.
To give it a little more Thanksgiving flare, I added the completely unnecessary but photogenic step of adding little cutout leaves to the crust edge.
Then, when I was done, I sprinkled the extra pie crust with cinnamon sugar and popped them in the oven for 15 minutes. This little treat reminds me of when my mom baked growing up. We always had the scraps with cinnamon sugar. Yum!
