How to cook deliciously - Dutch Apple Pie
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, mix the flour, brown sugar, oats and butter, stirring with a fork, until moist crumbs form. Transfer 3/4 cup of this mixture to a small bowl for the topping; set aside.
2. Stage
Crumble the remaining mixture onto the bottom of an ungreased 9-inch pie plate. Use your fingertips to lightly press the crumbs into an even layer across the bottom and up the sides of the dish. Set aside.
3. Stage
In a large saucepan, mix the sugar, cornstarch and water until smooth; bring the mixture to a boil. Cook and stir for about two minutes, until thickened. Remove the syrup from heat; stir in the apples and vanilla.
4. Stage
Pour the filling into the prepared crust, using a spatula to distribute it evenly. Sprinkle the reserved topping over filling so that it covers all of the apples.
5. Stage
Bake the pie for 40 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the crust appears to be browning too quickly, cover the edges with a pie crust shield during the last 20 minutes of baking.
6. Stage
Remove the pie from the oven, and set it on a wire rack. Let it cool completely so that the slices keep their shape when cut. If desired, serve with ice cream and caramel.
