Apple pie
Apple Pie
Apple pie (/ˈæpəl paɪ/) is a popular dessert dish, often associated with American culture, but with roots in various global cuisines.
Etymology
The term "apple pie" is derived from the Old English words "æppel" meaning apple and "pie" meaning a baked dish of fruit enclosed in pastry.
Description
An apple pie is a pastry dish that is typically filled with apples that have been sweetened and spiced. The apples are usually sliced and mixed with sugar, cinnamon, and sometimes other spices such as nutmeg or cloves. The mixture is then placed in a pastry shell, covered with a top layer of pastry, and baked until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Variations
There are many variations of apple pie, including Dutch apple pie, which is topped with a crumbly mixture of butter, flour, and sugar, and French apple pie, which is topped with a creamy custard. In the United States, apple pie is often served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a combination known as apple pie a la mode.
