FAVORITE DUTCH APPLE PIE

Favorite Dutch Apple Pie image

Everything about this dessert (but especially its dutch apple pie topping!) makes it the number 1 request for family gatherings. Its oat crust reminds me of a cookie, and the tart apple filling just can't be beat during harvest time. -Brenda DuFresne, Midland, Michigan
