Take a ride in this convertible-style apple pie. Open Face Apple Pie, from Platter Talk.
Open Face Dutch Apple Pie
Believe it or not, we still have a few apples from our tree that are begging to be baked. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been up to my elbows in pies.
Making some for work, some for the kids, and for the generous family who bought my “Pie a month for a Year” at our church’s big fundraiser Viva Italia, back in October.
With enough dough for one more shell, I decided to appease those screaming honey crisps, and this is what came out of my oven. Unbeknownst to me, a Dutch Apple Pie from scratch
We use our own Honey Crisp apples for this homemade apple pie filling.
How to Make Apple Pie
- Cut and peel six cups of apple slices then place them in a pie shell. Either make a homemade pie crust or buy one in a grocery store.
- Mix some cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together and put it over the apples.
- Create a topping of brown sugar, flour, and butter (with optional pecans or walnuts if desired) and sprinkle this combination over the spice mixture.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until the apples are tender and the pie crust is lightly brown.
- Let the pie set for 30 minutes before slicing, if you have the willpower!
Apple pie is arguably as iconic as anything can be, here in the U.S. We Americans love our pie recipes and I would say that apple desserts are about as American as it gets.
This Dutch apple pie recipe is super easy to make.
Most of us have a favorite pie. Although I can’t say I fall within what is likely the majority of those who hold apple pie at the top of their list, to my knowledge, I have never turned down a slice of this variety.
The crumble topping for this Dutch apple pie recipe has just a few ordinary spices.

February 24, 2019 at 9:00 pmLove this recipe! I had to make some substitutes since I thought I had all the ingredients. I had to substitute butter with coconut oil and short on apples added black berries. Let’s see what it’s going to taste like.
Overall, easy and we can’t wait to try! Thank you!!!
