Dutch Apple Pie

This is a recipe from my mom, I just added oatmeal to the topping after I read an article in Cook’s Country. They interviewed a lady in Philadelphia who owns Magpie bakery. They had a pretty good description of her dutch apple pie but no exact amounts of anything so I am going to try and figure out her recipe. She uses a whole can of sweetened condensed milk in her pie filling. She also has you chill the pie dough for a couple days and let the pie rest a whole day before eating! It sounds like quite a lengthy process.

In the meanwhile, I decided to give my mom’s old favorite recipe a try and I loved it! I love the press in crust, you can eat it as soon as it’s out of the oven and it tastes amazing!

Crust:

1 1/2 C flour

1 1/2 tsp sugar

1 tsp salt

1/2 C veg oil

2 T cold milk

Combine and pat in bottom of pie pan.

Filling:

4 C sliced apples (golden delicious)

1/2 C sugar

2 T flour

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Combine dry ingredients and toss with apples

Topping:

1/2 C flour

1/2 C butter

1/2 C sugar

1/2 C oats

Combine and sprinkle over the top.

Place in a brown paper bag, fold ends and don’t peek! Bake 1 hr 30 min at 350 degrees. Pie will be plump and browned just right. Serve with Caramel pecan ice cream.
