It's a pretty easy class to write:
from collections import defaultdict
class recursivedefaultdict(defaultdict):
def __init__(self):
self.default_factory = type(self)
Given that bit of code, the OP's example looks a bit like this:
a = 1
b = 2
c = 'apples'
my_hash = recursivedefaultdict()
my_hash[a][b][c] = "value"
if my_hash[a][b][c]:
print("found value")
