Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Pie

Easy, yes; delicious, absolutely! The pie browned perfectly and was done in exactly the time listed. I followed the recipe exactly except that after reading elsewhere about speculaaskruiden (a Dutch spice mixture), I decided to add to this recipe all the spices I use for pumpkin pie: 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp each ginger, nutmeg and allspice, and 1/4 tsp cloves. This is the BEST apple pie I have ever made and is SO going to make me the hit of the holiday pie scene! Thank you very much for this recipe.

I love this recipe! In the crumb crust I changed it to brown sugar and added vanilla and walnuts. I entered it into a pie contest and placed! It is fast and easy to make. Amazing with whipped cream or ice cream too!

I used this recipe for Thanksgiving this year (2009). I altered it a bit. I added a bit of corn starch to the apple mixture, I tossed 1/4 cup toasted pecans on top of the apples and I add about 1/2 cup of toasted pecans to the flour and butter in the food processor. This turned into very fine pecan crumbles. After the traditional meal usually the pie is not the star. But this pie, warmed and served with cinnamon ice cream, got RAVE reviews. As a matter of fact one guest walked out and took the rest of the pie saying it was the best apple pie he had EVER tasted. Thanks Cooks.com for making me a hit this year.

This recipe is the best! The lemon juice makes the pie taste nice and tart. Which balances the crumb topping with the filling of the pie
