In the past couple of months, I think the recipe I have used the most is this apple pie recipe. I think there was a two week period back in November I made a total of 10 apple pies! It’s just that good. I have tried several apple pie recipes out there and I think this is the best one yet. The flavor will depend largely on the type of apples and the sugar you use in the recipe.

SPECIAL NOTES:
spices // if you want to experiment, try to add nutmeg, cloves and/or allspice
apples // if you are running low on time and do not want to core the apples, just peel the apple and cut in half lengthwise, then just slice around the core. the slices don’t have to be perfect or pretty, they will not be seen inside the pie!!
sugar // if you you realize you are out of packed brown sugar, even regular brown sugar or just 1 cup of white sugar is fine. i’ve tried all of the three variations, even if to me it tastes much better with the packed brown sugar!
cooling time // if you can resist eating it the day you make this pie, it tastes even better the day after. allowing it to set really helps amalgamate the flavors and it will not be runny. if you have a party to take this too, make it ahead of time!
Before it gets too humid and hot to be baking here in Florence, try this recipe and bring it to the next dinner with friends.
Happy baking!
