Tips and tricks
- The dough must rest in the fridge at least for one hour. Pies are not made quickly. You should be patient and give your dough a good rest if you want to make the perfect crust.
- To make your pies smell better, you can mix the sugared powder with cardamom and cinnamon. Then sprinkle them on the apples.
Background & History
Among all the pies I know, I love apple pies the most because they have an amazing unique smell. People used to fill their pie crust with meat and vegetables, but soon pie crusts found their way to bakeries, and now they are also filled with different fruits such as pineapple and sour cherries.
