Apple Pie

Serving Suggestions
Warm or Cold: Apple pie can be served warm or cold, depending on your preference. For a special treat, serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
Custard Sauce: Drizzle some warm custard sauce over a slice of apple pie for an extra layer of indulgence.
Cooking Notes
Apple Variety: Granny Smith and Honeycrisp apples are ideal for baking due to their firmness and balanced sweetness. However, you can mix different varieties for a more complex flavor.
Crust Tips: Ensure your butter is melted but not hot when mixing the dough. This will help achieve a tender, flaky crust. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour until it reaches the right consistency.

Baking Time: Keep an eye on the pie during the last 10 minutes of baking. If the crust is browning too quickly, cover it with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
