classic golden apple pie with sweet pastry
A comforting, traditional apple pie featuring a homemade sweet shortcrust pastry made by the creaming method. The apples are dried briefly before baking to ensure the filling isn't too wet, resulting in a perfectly crisp bottom and a golden, sugary crust. Best served warm with a dollop of whipped cream.
