INTERESTING APPLE PIE FACTS
According to Smithsonian Magazine, the first recorded apple pie recipe was written in 1381 in England. It called for apples, figs, raisins, pears, and saffron.
The early apple pie recipes didn’t include sugar.
THE PIE CRUST
For this recipe, I used a store-bought pie crust because it saves time and tastes good.
If you prefer a homemade from scratch crust, read this informative article by Martha Stewart.
APPLE PIE FILLING
This recipe calls for two cans (20 ounces each) of apple pie filling.
THE FLAVORING
This recipe calls for 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
Excellent alternatives for traditional ground cinnamon in my opinon.
Ground cinnamon can be substituted for ground nutmeg if that’s what you prefer.
SERVING SUGGESTION
Top each serving with real whipped cream (pictured) or a generous scoop of cold vanilla ice cream.
ENJOY!
