Lemon and Apple Pie
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. You can buy ready-made dough; I used shortcrust. After baking, it forms a crispy, golden crust. You can use sweet apples, while lemons will add the necessary tanginess. Serve the pie cooled, optionally with ice cream.

Step 1
1. Divide the dough into 2 parts. Roll out both parts into sheets about 0.5-0.8 centimeters thick. Place one part into a baking pan greased with butter, pressing the dough with your hands against the sides and bottom of the pan.

2. Wash the apples and remove the cores, then cut them into small pieces and place them in a bowl. Cut the lemon in half, squeeze the juice from one half, and slice the other half into pieces the same size as the apples, setting them aside. Add sugar and spices to the apples, spread the mixture onto the dough, then add the lemon pieces. Cover the pie with the second layer of dough.
