Tear-and-share apple pie
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Light yeast dough with a sweet filling of juicy apples, combined with the aroma of cinnamon, will drive any lover of sweet pastries crazy! But believe me, you can make this pie even tastier by adding some raisins to the dough and brushing the finished "Chamomile" with honey. This way, the dough will soak up the honey and become even better! Adjust the amount of cinnamon and vanilla sugar to your taste. I recommend using sweet apples, but you can adjust their flavor with sugar or lemon acid. Serve with tea or coffee.
