The most delicate apple pie
Description
Homemade baking for tea. You can make the most delicate apple pie for a family tea party or for the arrival of guests. I highly recommend apple pastry lovers to try it! Minimal dough, a large amount of delicate fragrant filling, and a layer of airy soufflé—this pastry will win over any sweet tooth. My pan is 18 cm in diameter; for a larger pan, feel free to double the ingredients. #bestathome The bake is ready. Serve at the table.
