No dessert is more American than the good ole apple pie. Believe it or not, I do not have a sweet tooth. However, apple pie is one of my favorite desserts. Apple pie filling is easy to make. It can be used as a filling for tarts, crescent rolls, or cakes. The most traditional use of the filling is in a crisp or cobbler, besides in a pie of course. Here is my simple recipe for this favorite dessert of mine. The soft, mushy apples covered in cinnamon, the tangy, sticky filling is just so satisfying! Top it with a scoop of ice cream and you are in heaven! There were times when I would not cut a cake for my birthday but in fact, would cut an apple pie. That is how much I love this dessert.
