Pie
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. For a pie that looks and tastes good, use sweet apples for the filling so you do not have to add a lot of sugar. Excess sugar creates a lot of juice that will seep out, which leads to drips and can make the pie rather dry. You can also choose a filling to your own taste. Before serving, you can brush the pie with apricot or apple jam. It goes well with tea or coffee.
