Dutch Apple Pie

This is a true Dutch recipe. It came from my mother-in-law from a 4H exchange student who stayed with them. It is amazing with a sugar cookie crust and tart inside.

Crust:
1 stick butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
dash salt
2 eggs

Filling:
6 apples, cut in 10ths
juice of 1 lemon

3 tsp sugar
1 tsp cinnamon

1.Cream the butter and the sugar, add the eggs and beat well. Add the dry ingredients and mix to form a dough. You may need to add a bit of water to form a dough. It should be like a cookie dough. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

2. Roll half the dough out with powdered sugar - it will get very sticky, so be careful not to make it stick, Place the dough in a 9in pie pan to form the bottom crust.

3. combine the apples and the lemon juice and put in the pie pan on the bottom crust. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon on top.

4. Roll out the other half of the dough with powdered sugar to make the top crust. Pinch well around the edges and cut a few vent holes in the top

5. Bake for 10 min at 400 to brown the crust, then turn down to 350 and cover the edges with tin foil and cook 40 min more.

6. enjoy the apple-filled cookie goodness.
