PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH APPLE CRUMB PIE



Pennsylvania Dutch Apple Crumb Pie image

From my falling apart cookbook entitled Best-Loved Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes. Simple ingredients, easy assembly and spectacular presentation. When pressed for time, I have been known to substitute canned apple pie filling. This also works well for Cherry Crumb Pie by using canned cherry filling plus 1/4 teaspoon almond extract. A lifetime ago, on holidays, I was not allowed to enter my ex-inlaws house unless I had a Cherry Crumb Pie in my hands! ;) NOTE: If you use canned filling, just bake for 45 minutes at 350 degrees or until topping is brown.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples: This will give your cobbler a more complex flavor and texture. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too mushy.
  • Add some spices to the apples: This will enhance their flavor. Some good choices include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Use a good quality pie crust: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor and texture of your cobbler. If you don't have time to make your own, you can use a store-bought pie crust.
  • Don't overcook the cobbler: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook the cobbler, the apples will become mushy and the crust will be dry.

Conclusion:

Pennsylvania Dutch apple cobbler is a classic dessert that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its sweet and tangy apples, flaky crust, and warm spices, it's the perfect comfort food for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dessert, give Pennsylvania Dutch apple cobbler a try. You won't be disappointed!
