Best Dutch Apple Pie Recipe

I’m not typically a pie girl, but this recipe has been in my family for years, and it is my absolute favorite Dutch apple pie.  Something about the crumb topping makes it just irresistible!  With the 4th of July right around the corner…what is more American than Apple Pie, right?  Bring this to your BBQ and you’re sure to be asked for the recipe!

The crumb topping on this pie is SO good.  And combined with the sweet and gooey filling it is heaven.  I like to bake my pies the night before because I think they are just a tad better after they have cooled.  You can always heat it back up in the microwave if  someone prefers their slice warm.  Of course, don’t forget the vanilla ice cream because a la mode is the only way to go!  I hope you love this Dutch apple pie recipe as much as I do!
