"Easy as Pie" Dutch Apple Pie

 

We have all heard the saying “easy as pie”, but I never knew it was actually true! This pie was so easy to make and it was absolutely delish! Your guests will think you were in the kitchen for hours preparing it, but it only took me 20 minutes to make!

The best thing about this recipe is it consists of simple ingredients. I had almost all of these ingredients in my pantry already.
