Apple pie with crumble
Description
Homemade baking for tea. This pie is very easy to make, inexpensive, and you’ll get a sea of pleasure. If you place it in a pot and cover it with a lid, after a few hours the crumb will be soft and fluffy. Apple kissel becomes a juicy, sweet‑and‑sour layer during baking, resembling a soufflé. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
