American apple pie
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. The recipe for American apple pie is quite straightforward. It differs from standard apple pies in that it is made without flour. Instead of flour, a mixture of butter and almonds is used. As a result, the pie has a distinct almond flavor and a rich, buttery texture. It should be stored in a suitable container (for example, a sealed container) to prevent it from losing its shape :) American apple pie pairs wonderfully with coffee (with brandy), liqueurs, and full-bodied drinks such as brandy or rum :) A truly adult dessert... Enjoy! Serve cooled or slightly warm.
