The hallmark of Dutch apple pie is its creamy apple filling, however we do not depend on conventional custard to realize that. as an alternative, we add melted vanilla ice cream to the apple filling for added creaminess and a wealthy vanilla taste that enhances apple pie very nicely. we reduce golden scrumptious apples and allow them to relaxation within the melted ice cream along with the cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice till they have been gentle and versatile; this fashion they nestled simply within the pie pan and created a cohesive inside that baked evenly. Earlier than baking, we drizzle a combination of melted butter, flour, brown sugar, and a wholesome dose of salt excessive of the cake for a supremely buttery crumbly topping. letting the cake cool utterly earlier than slicing allowed it to agency up so we might produce fantastically clear wedges.
