Growing up one of my favorite pies at any family get together was apple pie. It was my dad's too. We would generally have traditional apple pie. Recently my dad asked me to make a traditional Dutch apple pie recipe. He hadn't had one in years and neither had I.
I pulled out my grandma's old cookbook where she kept all her recipes and started poking around and found this one. I made this recipe 3 times in a week (no joke the pie never lasted longer than 1 night!!) and tweaked it just a bit and came out perfect!
Traditional Dutch Apple Pie Recipe
Though, now that everyone knows I can make this recipe and they love it I get assigned to make it for every holiday. There is a blessing to doing desserts during the holidays! I can make them the day ahead of time and then sit back and enjoy the family on the holiday, so I'll take it!
