Auntie Willie's Dutch Apple Pie is a classic dessert recipe that has been passed down through generations of bakers. This American favorite is loved for its cinnamon-spice infused apple filling and buttery pastry crust. Served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it makes for the perfect comforting dessert on cool fall evenings. Despite its sugary and indulgent ingredients, the high fiber and antioxidant content of the apples still make this dessert a better option than many other sweet treats. Make it for yourself and see why it has been a favorite for so many years!

Instructions

1.	To make the pastry, mix together the melted butter, sugar and egg in a large mixing bowl.
2.	Gradually add in the flour and mix until the dough comes together.
3.	Divide the pastry into two pieces, one slightly larger than the other.
4.	Roll out the larger piece of pastry on a floured surface and use it to line a 9-inch pie dish.
5.	Fill the pie crust with the sliced apples, heaping them up in the center.
6.	Roll out the smaller piece of pastry and use it to cover the pie,
7.	Crimp the edges of the pastry together to seal the pie.
8.	Brush the top with a little milk and sprinkle with some sugar.
9.	Cut a few slits in the top of the pastry to allow steam to escape.
10.	Bake the pie in a preheated oven at 375°F for 45-50 minutes until golden brown and crisp.
