Apple Pie
Apple Pie features a buttery crust filled with tart Granny Smith apples coated in a cinnamon-spiced sugar and butter glaze. The apples are tossed in a sweet sauce made from melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon, then baked beneath a lattice crust brushed with egg wash and sprinkled with coarse sugar for a crisp, shiny finish. This pie balances tartness and sweetness, and its flaky crust contrasts with the tender, juicy filling, making it a classic dessert.
