The NJ Turnpike jogged my memory and google is no help.

Driving up the then-new 401, back in the 1960s, we stopped at a
restaurant called the "Dutch Village." I remember they served Dutch
apple pie, which to the young spamtrap seemed weird. I think it lacked
a lower crust. It came individually in a bowl, if my memory is at all
accurate.

Does anyone remember a "Dutch Village" restaurant between Windsor and
Kitchener? Was it a chain?

No but, just to show how helpful I can be, you triggered a great
memory of Aberfoyle MIll Steakhouse, a very picturesque
place with excellent steaks and very fine self-imported wine
(this was in the 70's, LCBO wine tyranny days) at which we
would stop on the return from Guelph to Toronto. I hope it
is still there and still good.

If it was a restaurant on the 401 itself it is long gone. There are only
the usual rest areas with gasoline and the franchised fast food like
Hortons, MCDonalds, KFC. I have never seen Dutch Village restaurant in
my travels around Ontario.

Dutch apple pie has a bottom crust... but the top crust is replaced
with streusel. It might have come in a bowl because you ordered a
scoop of ice cream with it, but I have no memory of it ever being
served any way except on a plate.

I had to check it out. There were lots of recipes but this looked
interesting. It doesn't have streusel topping. It looks like one that is
worth trying.


Ingredients

1 Pastry for deep 10-inch single crust pie
5 large apples, (about 2lbs/1 kg total)
1/4 cup (60 mL) whipping cream
3/4 cup (175 mL) packed brown sugar
2 tbsp (30 mL) all-purpose flour
3 tbsp (45 mL) cold butter
1/2 tsp (2 mL) cinnamon

Preparation

On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry and fit into 10-inch (25
cm) pie plate; trim and flute edges. Peel and core apples; cut each into
6 wedges. Arrange wedges snugly in single layer in pie shell; drizzle
with half of the cream.

In a small bowl, combine sugar and flour; cut in butter until crumbly.
Sprinkle over apples; dust with cinnamon. Drizzle with remaining cream.

Bake in 450°F (230°C) oven for 15 minutes; reduce heat to 350°F (180°C)
and bake for 30 to 35 minutes longer for until apples are tender,
shielding edges of pastry with foil if browning too much. Let cool.

Isn't that streusel?

Doohhh.. ;-( I guess I was fixated on the use of cream, and , for some
reason, was thinking of oatmeal. I stand corrected, but it does look good.

Poking around I learned that the service centres had restaurants that
were coupled with their gas stations.

Esso had Voyageur,
Gulf had Wayfare,
Shell had 1867, and
Texaco had Scott's Chicken Villa featuring... KFC!

Maybe the one I'm thinking of was called "Dutch Apple."
