Apple Pie
our home made 4 inch apple pie is a beloved dessert, often considered a symbol of English comfort food. It consists of a flaky, buttery crust filled with a sweet and tart apple filling. The apples used are typically a mix of varieties like Granny Smith, Bramley, or Gala, which provide the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity. The filling is flavoured a hint warm spice with nutmeg, and a touch of lemon juice to enhance the natural flavours of the fruit. The pie is traditionally baked until golden brown, with the crust becoming crisp and the filling bubbling through small vents. Often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, rich and creamy custard or a dollop of whipped cream, apple pie is enjoyed year-round, but especially during the winter when we all need that bit of warmig from the inside. Its aroma, combining warm spices and caramelized apples, is inviting and comforting, making it a classic treat for all ages. A pie that grandma would be proud of!
