Apple Savior Pie
4 servings
40 minutes
The 'Apple Spas' pie is a true ode to the autumn harvest and cozy family tea times. Its history is rooted in the traditions of celebrating Apple Spas, when freshly picked apples become the main ingredient in many treats. The delicate puff pastry creates a crispy base, while apples soaked in cinnamon and apricot jam give the pie a rich, sweet-spicy flavor. The golden lattice of dough, glazed with egg yolk, makes it not only delicious but also aesthetically pleasing. This pie is perfect for cozy evenings with family or holidays when you want to enjoy something truly homemade and heartfelt.
