Recipe for the best apple pie
Apple pie is a classic fruit tart with a shortcrust pastry base and top, which can easily be made with other fruits and spices. I love the combination of tart Ingrid Marie apples, cinnamon, and ginger, but you can also use sweeter apples or pears and season with other spices. I’m not a big fan of raisins in baked goods, but if you are, you can try adding a handful of raisins to the apples.
