Apple Pie
8 servings
90 minutes
A wonderful pie that we will repeat all year round. Apples are great friends with butter, cinnamon, oatmeal, brown sugar and vanilla ice cream - and they all came together here. We look at this recipe as a base that can be complicated - for example, by adding finely ground walnuts to the dough or a drop of fragrant alcohol. And, of course, it is important to remember that apples come in different varieties: ringing and crispy or loose and not very juicy. We used green, hard Granny Smith apples, but, in principle, any will do for this recipe: under the influence of temperature, butter and lemon juice, the filling will partly resemble jam, which does not need the hardness of the apple.
