Apple pie

Apple pie is a traditional dessert made from an apple filling, typically spiced with cinnamon, enclosed in a flaky pastry crust. It is widely recognized as a quintessential American dish, often associated with the phrase "as American as apple pie." The dish has its roots in early American colonial cooking, influenced by English traditions. In Hebrew, apple pie is known as פאי תפוז (Pai Tappuz), while in French it is called tarte aux pommes, and in German, Apfelkuchen or Apfelstrudel (though the latter is more accurately an apple strudel). Apple pie can be served with a variety of toppings, such as ice cream, whipped cream, or cheddar cheese, and is often enjoyed during holidays and family gatherings. The dish's popularity extends beyond the United States, with variations found in many cultures around the world.

Apple pie
An apple pie is a pie in which the principal filling is apples. It is often served with whipped cream, ice cream, custard or cheddar cheese. It is generally double-crusted, with pastry both above and below the filling; the upper crust may be solid or latticed. The bottom crust may be baked separately ("blind") to prevent it from getting soggy. Tarte Tatin is baked with the crust on top, but served with it on the bottom.
