Dutch apple pie is a common version of the American classic. The recipe below is common in the Berne settlement of Indiana and other "Swiss sister settlements." Milroy, Indiana is an Amish community that has a lot of close familial ties with Berne so I'm not surprised this recipe showed up at the bake sale Rachel I stopped at there on Saturday. We picked up this delicious piece of pie. It tasted as good as looks, with it's crumb topping encasing a juicy apple filling.
