It’s autumn!!
At last.
Autumn means, among other things, apple pies.
Apple pies are fragrant, simple, comforting; they smell of home, nest, of slow breakfasts and of afternoon made of chats.
They are so easy you can make them even if you have children around and, if you chooese th right recipe, they can be light enough not to ruin your diet.
Cinnamon is, of course, the queen of the spices when we talk of apples but, I must admit, I CAN’T STAND it ( I know, I know, I can hear the reproach) so I usually just add vanilla beans from Thaiti pods which I prefer to Bourbon pods as the taste is more delicate and less pungent.
Often I add a bunch of walnuts because, according to me, walnuts and apples are heaven together.
