Finally, the long awaited homemade dutch apple pie! This is an amazing pie! I’m not much of a pie person, but I’ll eat this any time. It’s like apple pie and apple crisp combined.

I got this recipe from my mom. I think she got it from one of my grandmas. A great recipe handed down through the generations!

I can’t wait to try this recipe this week. Do you not peel your apples? I’ve always peeled them for pies, but not peeling would be way faster!
Yes, I peel them Marisa. Pare means peel 🙂 I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
