Yes! Absolutely it can be made in advance. I think the best idea would be to bake it the day of but make all the components the day before but it will still be delicious if made and baked the day before.

Could this pie be made a day before serving? Or is it best made the day of? Trying to save time on Thanksgiving Day!

Yes, muscovado is a type is sugar. It’s less refined than traditional sugar therefore it retains much of the molasses flavor. In a pinch dark brown sugar will work. You can definitely make this in a tart pan!

Hello Ashley,
I intend to make this for an apple pie contest with friends, but have a few questions:
Is muscavado a type of of sugar? Is there a substitute?
Could I make this in a tart pan vs. a pie dish?
Thank you so much! I’m a huge fan of yours and can’t wait to try this!

Wat bedoel je, Margje? Nooit gehoord van een appelkruimeltaart? There are most certainly Dutch versions of apple pie with a crumble topping!

Just a sprinkle of kosher salt will be totally fine. It’s just a matter of getting a nice hit of salt to balance the sweetness.

Happy Thanksgiving!

The pictures look delicious! I plan to make this for our Thanksgiving potluck this year 🙂

One question though… Is there a flake salt substitute? I can’t seem to find flake salt at my local grocery store. Thanks!

Just back from a weekend away in Chicago with my long distance boyfriend and so wish we could wander down to the beach together with a picnic and listen to the waves and talk. The food looks delicious!

Thank you for writing about the ‘hard side’ of marriage and kids. It often seems like its easy for everyone else, everyone so chipper 🙂 I am glad you still try with your dinners and picnics, it is so romantic! It reminds me to try harder

I would absolutely love to try the actual classic Dutch apple pie. Over here an apple pie with a crumble topping can often be referred to as a Dutch apple pie. The sauce, I admit was totally my doing. And although I’m 100% Dutch I can’t claim that it’s dutch. I hope you do try the pie, regardless of the name. And I really hope that I can make it back to the Netherlands to try a REAL Dutch apple pie.

I’m sure this applepie will taste amazing, but why is this called a Dutch applepie? Because in Holland, a classic applepie has never never ever crumble on top, but a lattice pattern, wicht after baking, is glazed with apricot jam. No brown sugar in the filling, just granulated sugar and cinnamon. Never a sauce as a side, just whipped cream.

Your post is heart-warming! My baby is only 7 months old, but one day he too will also be off to kindergarten. I hope that when that time comes (too quickly I imagine) I can also give him words of encouragement and love. And to have a warm apple pie waiting for him upon his return.
Btw, I tried your recipe the other night and the pie was a hit! My husband and dinner guests loved it, thank you!

Beautiful post. My youngest daughter just started kindergarten. I felt a lot of guilt about sending my kids to school at first but I pray for them so much more when they aren’t with me. I also bake more too!

Oh just tug on my heart strings would ya?! I’m just in the thick of those early days: the nursing sounds, the jibber-jabberish, the small feats like rolling over…and yes I want to slap those old ladies! But it’s so true…I’m sure these days will pass just as quickly as yours did with your little ones. What a great lesson for us new mommas : letting them face their fears so they grow to be strong, independent kids and adults, but supporting all the way! Thanks for such an inspiring and beautiful post! Gonna go cuddle my little one now 🙂

Such a great recipe, I’m doing it this Saturday. And the post is really amazing. I love reading other peoples thoughts and feeling and finding a connection. We all have similar problems, but yet each experience is unique.
Wish you all the best!
