Apple Pie Recipe
Since it is the most suitable fruit for dessert making, we can call apple the star of the winter. In Turkey the season is opened generally with the apple filled cookies and continues with the recipes different in shape but same in essence such as apple crumble bars, apple crumbles.
Apple pie is one of the most important recipes of American cuisine that is generally underestimated as I mentioned in the garlic bread sticks recipe that I shared recently. It contains lots of apples, a small amount of dough and lots of flavor. A dream recipe for apple lovers. Moreover, apples are not pre-cooked as in apple crumble bars or apple cookies. This makes the apple pie very easy to make.
You can use any kind of apples you like for the recipe. The butter should be just cold, not frozen. You should bake the pie as soon as you prepare it. If you wait, the apples would loose water and the water would wet the dough and the dough would not be crispy.
