Apple pies made with yeast dough
Description
Homemade baked goods for tea. Pay attention to the presentation of the pastry shaped like a tree. It looks simply stunning, yet it's not as difficult to make as it might seem. Choose sweet apples, preferably garden-grown red-green ones. Remember to allow enough time for the dough, as the yeast needs time to rise properly. Serve with tea or coffee.
