Sbriciolata with apples
Description
Homemade pastries for tea. Sbriciolata with apples is a wonderful pastry, a sweet pie from Italian cuisine. It consists of shortcrust crumbs and a juicy apple filling with the aroma of cinnamon. Behind a thin layer of dough crumbs hides a juicy filling. Hence the name “sbriciolata,” which means to crumble. I suggest making this pie, since it is extraordinarily simple and takes minimal time. Such a pie is accessible even to beginner cooks. You can use apples of any variety, and don’t forget the cinnamon, which will give a delicate aroma to the finished dish. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
