NikitaContinuing with the 'Murica Saturday Bites theme, I made a Dutch Apple Pie. Funny the American theme would include a Dutch Apple Pie. Well, it's not actually a Dutch pie. This pie was traditionally cooked in a Dutch oven and is known for it's streusel topping rather than the traditional pie dough top. Start to finish, this pie took me two and a half hours, but I also made my own pie crust - a feat I've done maybe three times....maybe. Everything about this pie was perfect. Because I baked this pie at a high temperature for 15 mins, the crust cooked up and did not get soggy from the filling. I did put aluminum foil over the pie during the second half of the first 15 minutes to prevent my sugar top from burning. It came out perfectly crisp and browned. To be honest, I have no clue what kind of apples I bought because the signs are all in cyrillic, and most times they don't translate to English words. So I'll just say I bought four small green apples and three large red apples. They all tasted like a balanced mix between sweet and tart. This was the most perfect apple pie. We ate the whole thing in 1.5 days....with ice cream, of course. Make this pie! Just do it.
