Autumn's specialty: Apple Pie. But which apple pie, as there are many different ways of making it? Full American pie? Or British? Pie with crumble topping or with braided pie crust? I never knew there was a Dutch apple pie type but my husband asked for it, so I researched. In Dutch apple pie, you don't use cinnamon, which for me is pretty difficult because I believe that apple and cinnamon are two peas in a pod. But for people who don't like the taste of cinnamon (yes there are a few people like that), this recipe works perfect. All we need is a bit of oatmeal for the crust and the pie is ready in 15 minutes. :) This is the easiest, quickest and yummiest apple pie.
2 cups of flour
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oatmeal
3/4 cup melted butter
For the pie filling:
2/3 cup sugar
3 level tablespoons cornstarch
1 and 1/4 cups of cold water
3 big sweet apples (cored and diced)
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract (or cinnamon if you like)
How to:
1. First, melt the butter and mix with flour, brown sugar, oatmeal in a deep bowl. Seperate one cup of the pie crust to use for the topping.
2. Lightly grease a pie dish with butter and spread the crust firmly and press with your hands.
3. For the filling, put the water, cornstarch and sugar in a sauce pot and start heating. Once it starts boiling, turn off the heat.
4. Peel and chop the apples and add into the sauce. Normally, Dutch apple pie doesn't have cinnamon in it but at this stage I added some. You can only go for vanilla extract if you like.
5. Pour the apple pie filling onto the crust and spread the remaining crust with your hands to cover the pie.
6. Bake in the pre-heated oven, 175 degrees for 45 minutes and serve when warm. Eat and enjoy!
