Flavors from Memories – Apple Pie from Grandma's Kitchen

Apple pie is an autumn favorite and comfort food at its finest. Grandma's apple pie takes us on a flavor journey into the past when fresh apples were picked from the garden, and the kitchen smelled of cinnamon and cardamom. Today, we will delve into how to make a traditional apple pie – just as grandma taught us back in the day.

Ingredients:

Dough:

150 g of butter
1 dl of sugar
1 egg
3 dl of wheat flour

1 tsp of vanilla sugar
Filling:

4-5 medium-sized apples
1 tsp of cinnamon
2 tbsp of sugar

Instructions:

Preparing the dough:

Beat the softened butter and sugar until creamy.
Add the egg to the mixture while continuously beating.
Mix the dry ingredients together and add them to the dough.
Mix until you have a smooth dough.

Shaping the base:

Grease a pie dish (approximately 24 cm in diameter).
Press the dough onto the bottom and sides of the dish.

Preparing the apple filling:
