Swedish apple pie
Description
It goes perfectly with tea and coffee. Swedish apple pie is a very moist and tender apple bake with an appetizing almond crust and an aroma beyond words; it has been hugely popular in our home ever since the day I first made this pie. I know that in Sweden this pie is called a cake, but let’s be objective—it looks more like a pie than a cake. So, let’s make a delicious Swedish apple pie. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
