Notes
Apple Pie is one of America's most iconic and beloved desserts, often associated with comfort, tradition, and a sense of home. It features a filling of tender, sweetened apples—typically spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, and sometimes cloves—baked between layers of flaky, buttery pastry crust. The crust can be a simple top-and-bottom layer or adorned with a decorative lattice pattern. Apple pie is known for its perfect balance of flavors: the tartness of the apples, the warmth of the spices, and the richness of the crust. It is often served warm and paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream ("à la mode") or a dollop of whipped cream, enhancing its indulgent appeal. Variations of the dessert may include caramel, raisins, or even cheddar cheese for a regional twist. Celebrated as a symbol of Americana, apple pie is often associated with holidays like Thanksgiving and the Fourth of July, making it a staple at family gatherings and celebrations. Its timeless popularity has earned it the phrase "as American as apple pie."
