This is very likely the second thing I learned to successfully bake, after my aunt Allyn’s Chocolate Chip Cookies. It may have been the reason my husband decided to marry me, but you’ll have to ask him about that. It is one of my favorite desserts, honestly, and it’s maybe more delicious the next morning for breakfast. That is, if you have any left.
Dutch Apple Pie
5-6 apples, peeled and sliced
2/3 C. sugar
1 t. cinnamon
2 T flour
2 T butter
Topping
1/2 C. brown sugar
1/2 stick butter
1 C. flour
Place apples in pie crust – the apples should fill the shell completely. (It will probably look like a heaping mound ‘o apples… but don’t worry. They bake down.) Mix together the sugar, cinnamon and flour in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the apples.

Place little pats of (the 2 T) butter over the apples.

For the topping, cream together the butter and brown sugar. Cut in the flour. The mixture should be relatively dry and crumbly.

Bake at 375 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Enjoy! (I know you will.)
