Dutch Apple Pie

Well, the plan was to make the delicious sounding Apple Pie that Ginny shared with us a few days ago, however, the company we were going to have today ended up having to re-schedule until next weekend. So I will be attempting that one hopefully next week! So, I went ahead and flipped through my Taste of Home Baking Book and found one fabulous recipe for Dutch Apple Pie! Our house is full of wonderful smelling goodness right now! Here's the recipe, but if you have the book the pg. number is 208.

Pie Crust:
1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/3 cup shortening
4-5 tbsp. cold water

In a small bowl, combine the flour and salt; cut in shortening until mixture resembles course crumbs. Gradually add the water, tossing with a fork until ball forms. Cover and refrigerate for 30 min. or until easy to handle.

Roll out pastry to fit a 9-in. or 10-in. pie plate. Transfer pastry to pie plate. (once it is in the pie plate you can decide how you want your edges trimmed and what you want them to look like.)

Pie ingredients:
3/4 cup sugar
2tbsp. all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
2 cups chopped peeled tart apples (about 3 med. apples)
Streusel Topping:
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
2 tbsp. cold butter

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar, flour and salt. Stir in the egg, vanilla and sour cream until smooth. Add apples; mix well. Pour into pastry shell. Bake at 375 for 15 min. Reduce hat to 325; bake for 30 min.
2. For topping, combine flour and sugar in a small bowl. Cut in butter until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over pie; bake 20 min. longer or until filling is bubble and topping is browned. Cool on wire rack. Serve warm or chilled. Store in fridge.

Delicious!
