Apple pie recipe index
This apple pie was taught to me by a friend of mine from the theater group of l’Arboç, Mercè Ribas. Since she passed her recipe on to me, it has become one of my star desserts. I prepare it for family celebrations, meals with friends or simply to treat ourselves at home… and it always succeeds! It is one of those desserts that disappear from the table before you can repeat.
It is an easy apple pie, homemade, very juicy and does not require great baking skills. Moreover, you can adapt it as you like: in the form of apple pie with puff pastry, in small tartlets, with a touch of cinnamon or with raisins, walnuts or even cranberries.
Apple pie is a classic in many cultures. From the famous American apple pie to the traditional French apple pie. And although there are a thousand ways to prepare it, this version is undoubtedly one of the simplest and most delicious. So if you’re wondering how to make an apple pie, keep reading because I’ll tell you step by step!

Tricks for a juicy apple pie
To check for doneness, prick with a knife or toothpick: if it comes out clean, it is ready.
If you want to give it a special touch, sprinkle powdered sugar on top once it is cold.
Use Golden or Reineta apples, which hold up well to cooking and are sweet and juicy.

Apple pie variations
