Dutch Apple Pie

The Dutch Apple pie is considered to be the national dessert of the Netherlands. It has been on the menu in the Netherlands for 500 years. Hence, it is safe to say it is one of the country's oldest delicacies.

The Dutch Apple pie, in general, is comparable to apple pies from the US. But it is much less sweet and has a rich layer of apples. The spice, raisins, and freshly whipped cream elevate it to one of the greatest desserts you will ever eat. We recommend you to try this delicious food right away.

Steps to make a Dutch Apple pie:

• Step 1. Form a ball from the pastry. On a lightly floured surface, shape the dough into a circle. Wrap the flattened pastry circle in plastic wrap. Let it chill for approximately 45 minutes, or until the dough is stiff and cold but still malleable.
• Step 2. The oven should be preheated at 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Roll the crescent dough into a circle 2 inches bigger than your pie dish, using a rolling pin on a floured surface. In a pie pan, fold pastry into fourths.
• Step 3. Toss the ingredients in a large mixing dish. Mound the apples toward the middle of the pie dish.
• Step 4. Use a pastry blender or your fingertips to combine butter, 1 cup flour, and brown sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk until crumbs form. Distribute the ingredients equally over the pie's top.
• Step 5. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until the pie crust and crumbs topping are a deep golden brown color. At that point, the filling would start to boil. Cool the mixture completely on a chilling track.
