Visiting some Amish friends of mine this week and enjoyed a delicious slice of homemade Dutch Apple Pie yesterday. It was a classic crumb-top Dutch. Unlike some versions I've enjoyed,this pie held together perfectly using home-grown apples and a homemade crust with lard. Take a look at this beauty topped with a scoop of cold vanilla ice cream.
This is the Dutch Apple Pie recipe from Elizabeth Coblentz, the original Amish Cook and I imagine its quite similar to the slice I had yesterday. Apple pies are a favorite among the Amish. Yum!
