Happy New Year 2023: Homemade Apple Pie

 

🍎Homemade Apple Pie🍎

Hello 2023 and Happy New Year, everyone! Kicking off with a delicious slice of Homemade Apple Pie, because...why not? I recall during my early days when I first arrived in the US many moons ago, I often wondered why Americans were so crazy about this fruity dessert. I didn't get what the big deal was back then but several years later, the first thought that comes to my mind when I have a slice of this delectable dessert is "don't you even dare touch my apple pie!" 😂 Needless to say, this classic American dessert somehow managed to worm its way into my heart quite successfully and I fully confess that I am now a bona fide Apple Pie fan for life, unreservedly and unapologetically.

This was my very first attempt at making this delectable pie wholly from scratch. I have to admit I was initially tempted to get a pre-made pie crust to make things easier, but later decided it would be well worth the adventure to try making homemade pie dough using good old simple pantry ingredients - flour, butter, salt, sugar, and ice cold water. For the filling, I used a balanced mix of tart green Granny Smith and delicately sweet honey crisp apples. This fruity dessert is rustic and simple, yet truly heart-warming especially on a cold winter night. I look forward to experimenting further in the future using different types of apples, crust designs, and even changing up the prepping process just for fun.

Enjoy!🍎🍏💖
