It is a sweet passe-partout, because it is easy to do, it pleases young and old, makes a good impression on any occasion, it is perfect at any time of the day
Easy, soft, tasty, fragrant. In short: the Apple pie! And if an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then let's exaggerate as well. Because apple pie is always good: to accompany a cup of milk and coffee for breakfast, as a dessert at the end of the meal, for the afternoon snack of the kids or to enrich the tea break of 5. Choose the time of day you like more. Or choose not to choose and eat it on all occasions. One thing you have to choose carefully: the type of apple with which to make the cake because, do not forget, the types are many and the differences (taste, organoleptic qualities, consistency) often considerable.
But there is one thing that makes the apple pie really unique and gives great satisfaction in doing it: it is highly customizable, to the point that we could say that without prejudice to the fundamental ingredients, for the rest … space to imagination!

Work everything well and then add the apple slices in the mixture and mix also with the help of the hands, given the large amount of apples present.
