Classic Apple Pie
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, should know how to make a Classic Apple Pie. I feel like it’s the quintessential American dessert. The one dish you know always keep up your sleeve. Mainly because it’s so tasty, especially served with ice cream on top. Some people like their apple pies with Cheddar. This one here is as basic and classic as they come. No frills but lots and lots of thrills for us.
