It came out great! I used the parchment paper method.
The pie came out perfectly. We used Granny Smith Apples, the best apples for pie in our opinion. The parchment paper is a clever idea. It improved the crust, n=making it more crispy and the flavor of the apples.
Delicious!! I only tweaked it by doubling the crumb topping because I LOVE crumb topping.
I cannot say enough about this pie! It was delicious. Made it exactly as the recipe is written and it came out beyond perfect. Put a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and bam! No more regular apple pies for us.
Don’t bake in brown bag use parchment paper. It turned out beautiful and delicious! I will make this often.
yum! I added extra cinnamon, baked 45 minutes uncovered. Be sure your butter is cold to get the right consistency on the topping. I used my stand mixer and it came out perfect.
I was no happy with the outcome of this recipe, like a another reviewer it came out wet and soggy and I made for friends coming over tomorrow for dinner I used the parchment paper I should of not use parchment paper but I didn’t know, I will know next time.
Excellent
Basic simple recipe for apple pie. Don’t be afraid to pile apples on high as they shrink while they cook. Additional spices can be added to adjust for your taste.
Don’t use the parchment. It flattens out and then it won’t let thr the crust bake right. 2 tbsp. of lemon juice I think is too much. I added 1/4 tsp ginger and nutmeg to the apples and 1/ 2 tsp. Of cinnamon to the crust for more flavor.
Amazing and so simple to make! A must try.
Looks good taste great!
The parchment was a new instruction for me. Not sure what I think of that but I did do it. I wonder if it helps keep the apples from trying out and reduce over browning of the topping. Taste and texture turned out great but would prefer more crunch on top.
I made this for my wife and me. She is not at all a big fan let alone a fan of Dutch Dutch Apple Pie. Me, myself, I LOVE, Dutch Apple Pie. So I made this recipe following all the way up to the strussel part. First I peeled five large Red Delicious apples. Then I use my round Apple Cutter that cuts and cores the apples. Then after using that, I used my pairing knife to make the slices thinner cutting each piece lengthwise three times. After doing that, I stack the thinner pieces up and cut them horizontally to diced them into smaller pieces yet. After cutting up all the apples, I put the ( now diced apples ) pieces into a mixing bowl, adding the sugar, the flour, and the cinnamon. Then I stirred everything together to incorporate it all together. I then poured the Apple mix into the homemade pie crust. Then I made the strussel ( which I got from another recipe on AllRecipes ) from the Sweet Potato Casserole Dessert recipe. I sprinkled the strussel on top the apples. I chopped up some pecans and sprinkled them on top the strussel. I baked the Dutch Apple Pie at 375° for 50 minutes instead of the 425° it calls for. Also, I Did Not bake it inside the parchment paper it calls for either. I just placed it into the oven as is. I let it cool before serving. Once cut, I warmed each piece in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds. And BOY! we both finish our piece. My wife added, “ this is good! “
Turned out great. Fell apart bit that didn’t matter. I did add some cherries to the Apple and was outstanding.
AWESOME! Didn’t do the parchment paper…Didn’t know why I would?? Baked at 375 for 45 minutes..PERFECT!!! I did substitute the top crumbling with brown sugar instead of white!
Great easy recipe. I used jonagold apples instead. So yummy.
First time making this pie and everyone loved the flavor. I didn’t use the parchment paper to bake it. Will cut the apples thicker next time and will use a deep dish crust.
This pie was a hit at the Thanksgiving table! I used Cortland apples and sliced them very thin. I was excited to cut open the parchment paper and it looked so amazing. Perfectly browned and it smelled delicious! Will be making another one for Christmas!
Amazing! My first apple pie. I had a little trouble making the top crumbly so I “whisked” the crumble mix in a bowl with a small fork carefully adding flour by the tablespoon until it crumbled. Used Butter flaky pie crust from All Recipes. Also blind baked the crust first with pie weights and egg washed the braided edges. I did not use a bag or parchment paper. Baked at 400 for 50 minutes.
Oh Yes. This is apple pie, and fabulous!! I used a mix of Granny Smith and Gala apples because I wanted to make a big slab pie. I used the juice and zest of a couple limes, and it is sweet-tart, spicy, soft and crisp crust. I always use extra spices, so mine has ginger, allspice, and nutmeg in addition to cinnamon, and would have had cloves but I broke my bottle of cloves and had the best smelling kitchen in the world. If you like Dutch Apple, this is it. The topping is perfect!!!
