Yesterday it was already snowy here, in Chicago. First snow is always beautiful and exciting, but the temperature is so cool, brrrr ❄. Now cozy sweaters, long scarfs, and warm pies are definitely the highlights of the season!
Honestly, sometimes I have those days when all I need is a warm pie. I don’t even know what I want more, the calming process of baking or an actual piece of the pie… Could be both 🙂
Anyway, I have my favorite recipe for such situation. This pie I remember since being a kid. At the place where I grew up, we had many beautiful apple trees. August, September, October were the months of the most delightful apple pies.
Over the years, my food preferences have changed significantly, and I have been experimenting with the original recipe a lot. Now I am proud to announce that I found my perfect version of it; it is gluten-free and little less sweet.
I love to use apples from the local farmers market; I truly believe that it helps me to recreate the essential taste of my childhood.
I hope you will get all my positive vibes and like this pie as much as I do!
I also must say that this apple pie is really easy to make. You almost can not go wrong with anything. I hope by this moment I convinced you enough. So, are you ready to try? 😉
