Apple pie is a popular dessert, not only in the United States but worldwide as well. It is often served with ice cream, whipped cream, or even by itself.
Nothing quite matches that mouthwatering experience of walking into a home and being greeted with the aroma of freshly baked apple pie with cinnamon and spices.
American housewives created the original apple pie recipe in the early 1800s, but it has evolved over time and now there are many variations of this dish. The most popular version of apple pie is made with fresh apples, eggs, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter.
The following recipe is my take on this favorite dessert dish.

- Pinch the edges of the crust together to create a fluted edge to the pie,
- Brush the pastry top with the egg wash (egg mixed with milk).
- Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the pie.
- Use a knife to make a small snip opening in the middle of the top layer of the dough to allow steam to escape while baking (if you used a solid sheet of dough)

- Allow the pie to cool for 2 hours before slicing and serving.
- Bon appetit

Apple pie is best served warm with cream or vanilla ice cream but can also be enjoyed cold and by itself.
